Mark in Idaho prexisting anxiety/ depression
Hey Mark,
I am interested in the topic of pre-existing anxiety
and depression and PCS. I was injured in 2009
and still have post concussion symptoms to this
day. I was very upset when doctors began attributing
my symptoms to psychological issues. I was not
anxious or depressed before my injury, but feel that
even if I was I would have the exact same symptoms
that I have today. I think doctors over-emphasize the
psychological and under-emphasize the physical.
I mean you could be the most depressed person in
the world and have vestibular problems, ringing in
the ears, noise/light sensitivity etc., these symptoms
are all directly because of physical injury and not
psychological issues. I guess from experience I just
feel that the anxiety/depression are secondary from
the physical injury and not the other way around.
Your thoughts?
Andy
