PCS (Post concussion syndrome) or TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) are difficult to diagnose, difficult to treat, and even more difficult to live with.

Because of the nature of the brain, normal diagnostic measures (x-rays, CT scan) cannot always determine the extent of an injury.

And of course, two people can have the EXACT same injury, in the EXACT same place and have very different results.

If you feel like you haven't completely healed the way you would like, there are some things that you can do to help yourself. None are a guarantee, but might be helpful.

Therapy is something to look into. Antidepressants help some. Neurobiofeedback may be useful. Many communities have support groups (my husband and I joined one at the hospital he did his rehab at. I find this group to be inspirational for ME than for my husband).
