Becoming overly anxious about your health problem can haunt you in the long-run. A lot of people your age experience a crisis at this point in your life. I'm not trying to second guess you, I just want you to make sure there aren't any other stress causers in your life.
As Mark wisely mentioned, if you are extremely concerned about your neurological well-being, consider a neuro-psychological evaluation performed by a certified neuro-psychologist. They are quite expensive, but they are a good thing to consider if you are concerned about your mental fitness.
Avoid alcohol or any mind altering substance. Better yet eliminate them. Also, it is wise to avoid contact sports. If sports are a must, tone them down.
If you don't experience any problems reading, read lots of books.
