The psychiatrist tell me that is impossibile to suffer a concussion without losing consciousness so my cognitive struggles (both the actual ones and the ones before taking antipsychotics but after the car crash) must be imaginary.
At the same time, I have found a neurologist who is not knowledgeable about antipsychotics but believes that my cognitive impairmente may be due the car crash and he ordered an MRI with tensor diffusion, I will do it in a couple of weeks.
It is reliable to see if I suffered a concussion in the car crash?
Or it is possible that damage will not show up on it?

Your psychiatrist doesn't know what he's talking about. A person can have a concussion without losing consciousness. It is not uncommon. Whiplash from a rear-end collision can easily do it.
I think that these drugs do more harm than good. My brain felt even worse on drugs that were supposed to make my symptoms better. Oh, they made some symptoms better, but I felt even loopier.
