Hey DontPlayFootball,
I did find lots on HBOT. I think that it is definitely worth trying.
I believe that having the treatments close together is recommended. However, the nearest place to me only has sessions three times a week.
I think that 5 is more usual but I will have to go with what is available.
I hope that there is a HBOT treatment center somewhere near you, so that you can try it out if you want to.

This has proven to help the brain by using SPECT imaging before and after hbot therapy which showed a healthier brain post hbot. There is also a study on going in the military about people getting exploding ied's (bombs) by their head and having severe traumatic head injuries and having disorders like depression for a year resolve with 40 hbot treatments.
However, I haven't really found much by the way of normal people on forums talking about hbot. I also haven't found if hbot would be good for traumatic brain encephalopathy, or if really anything would be good for tbe.
