These minor head bumps are not the cause of the symptoms.

The fact is simple. Many people who have been on this forum over the past 10+ years suffered from concussion anxiety syndrome. Those that addressed their anxiety issues recovered. Most needed medication to help them as they learned to not react to every head contact. Six months with an SSRI or SNRI helped them. The help of a therapist was rarely effective unless they could control their thought reactions of looking for symptoms because they expect to have symptoms.

The research done by the experts shows that 80% of these people who struggle with CAS or have prolonged symptoms had prior struggles with anxiety and/or depression.

If you look at what anxiety does to the brain, you'd see how this makes sense.
