I'm so glad to hear that you have a therapist who is open to the idea that your symptoms may be the result of more than one problem. Most practitioners are unwilling to believe that a patient's issues have more than one root cause (often outside their field). I hope that your therapist has a good neurologist in mind for the second opinion, which is an excellent idea. I am glad that she recognizes your existing mental heath issues and still wants to retain you as a patient. Not only can she treat your anxiety with therapy and medication, but I think that she can also help you coordinate your care. It is so helpful to have a mental health professional tell a medical doctor that they believe a patient has an underlying medical condition… especially since this therapist is familiar with post concussion syndrome.

Sam, you are getting the best care as you are being treated as a whole patient… a whole person... by your therapist, and I am so pleased that all avenues are being explored. I'm glad that you're hopeful again that you're going to get to the bottom of things and see improvement soon. I share that hope.

This is all good news! I look forward to hearing more! Remember we are here for you
