hi juliec
I an afraid this is a familiar tale, with GP or PC doctor,s it is something they can treat , and also perhaps neurologist. there are psychological effects of PCS/TBI, I think we would all agree with that . but they are a result of the injury . not underling psychology
I was placed on Prozac and had a real bad reaction psychologically,volcanic mood swings
my then doctor,was at the limit of his knowledge, I have just been placed on another drug for for migraine and sleep epilepsy its given me a skin complaint, so I am back to squire one, but now itchy LOL
I would never advise someone not to try a treatment a doctor has prescribed it may help you
the not being believed, is real vexing even at my head injury group some of the staff there think, due to my IQ that I am fixed, they cant see it maybe there own vanity, or social services targets thats coloring there judgment and you would think they should know better HUH
you have to have known some one pre injury to notice the change
or know how hard we try to regain our pre injury selves
best wishes keep us posted
