Hello Mark,
thank you very much for your reply.
Fortunetly what is connected to sport and moving is everything ok. The best feeling for me is to run at least 10km and 'clear' my head from bad thoughts.
You are right, benzos didnt make me well and psychiatrists were the same.. There is a problem with neurologists because I had TBI without lost oflost of conciousness and MRI+CT was luckily fine, when they talked to me, they didnt see any problem only my anxiety. Their universal reply is that its somatic. Thats what upsets me because Im pretty sure that the problems I mentioned here ARENT psychosomatization but real problem.
I reduced my school programme but apparently the brain needs more.
Yes Im trying supplements like fish oil and coconut oil but nothing changed.. Its unbelievable long way when I compare it with 1minute of blow to my head..
Best wishes and sorry for my english, Im not native

I am sorry to hear of your injury. The symptoms you are experiencing are quite common. A psychiatrist is not likely the best doctor for a concussion. Do you have access to a neurologist or concussion specialist ? Does your university have a sports trainer/sports medicine department that helps athletes with concussions ?
For many, there is no way to recover without taking a break from studies or at least reducing the work load. Your brain needs a break from the stress of class and studying.
btw, You are not having 'generalized anxiety disorder' or panic attacks. You are having concussion related panic and anxiety symptoms. The concussion has changed how your brain processes thought and stimulus. Common anxiety treatments will only mask some symptoms but do nothing to help your brain heal. Benzos, the most common anti-anxiety drugs, are not good for a recovering brain. The other antidepressant meds are not much better for healing.
So, you should consider taking a break or at least reducing your class load. Avoid alcohol and caffeine and even consider starting a vitamin and supplement regimen like discussed in the Vitamins sticky at the top.
My best to you.
