Also I think many of us with post concussion syndrome don't really think
about the fact that its a cousin or relative to TBI.

So maybe when we try to explain to our friends. We need to use this relationship more. And explain that they are very much alike. And that the
symptoms can be identical in many ways.

And that the biggest difference that I can see is the way you get the injury.
Because lots of TBI are from car accidents. And I don't believe that many
PCS's are. THey are more from falls and sports injuries.

So maybe explaining that to many the Traumatic part is the car accident.

So if you do it this way, many understand that a TBI, is sometimes a very
serious life threatening situation or at least takes time to recover from.
But there hasn't been as much until recently information for PCS but with
the fact that they are realizing how many more kids and teens are being
injured with this in contact sports in high school its becoming a issue.

So also maybe tell them that many more high schools are being told to tell
their teens and parents to watch the kids that have reported such situations
because its not a fast recovery.
