thanks all

depression is and effect of TBI but the problem is that many docs that do not, specialize in tbi or pcs prescribe these drugs willy nilly ( SORRY UK LINGO)

and keep uping the dose if they don,t work once on them you must come off them with extreme care, !!!!!!!!!

I found they made my cognition worse and mood swings volcanic and dangerous to those around me , I am no longer taking them and are better for it,

this is not to say they may not help many people , but just not me ,

also we run the risk of being labeled depressive and the true reason ignored.

with frontal lobe injury the personality is effected emotion is not processed in the way it once was , so a feeling of nothingness may result also depersonalization

now I speak from a point of view of a tbi victim as apposed to pcs because this brain injury conditions, is so wide and as complex as the brain its self, antidepressants may well help but not in my case
