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
