He said there's no point to an MRI although he could order it hee advises against it as a waste of money.
He also said my prognosis is uncertain because I've had these issues for so long and they haven't resolved in time.
He recommended I get fit and see a psychologist for cognitive behavioral therapy and recommended me a few which are experienced with TBI induced psychological symptoms.

Ditto happened with me, and probably with millions around the world with mtbi. One of the reputed neurologists in my country told me that I am anxious so I am feeling the symptoms . he was a jerk and knew nothing about mtbi. He gave me xanax and dismissed me straight away.
In my opinion a psychiatrist understands mtbi better than most neuros, they are utter useless.once they label your symptoms as anxiety, it increases your load as people around you get brainwashed and manipulated and start thinking that its all in your mind and that's a terrible place to be as we all know!
Such is life with mtbi sadly
