I don't think you should use the TBI Survival Guide to self-diagnose. It is best for the injured person and their family to use to recognize symptoms so they understand that those symptoms are due to a head injury. Otherwise, family and even we deny these symptoms. The guide can help us identify symptoms so we know what to relate to the doctor. But, avoid self-diagnosing. Doctors do not like patients who self diagnose.

Print the guide if you can. I know, 84 pages. Use a highlighter to note those issues that concern you. Tell the doctor, "I found this guide written by a NeuroPsych that has helped me understand my confusing symptoms. I've highlighted the issues that seem to apply to me." "Before reading this, I thought I was going crazy because none of this made sense. Now I understand that these are common symptoms. Can you help me sort these symptoms out ?"
