I can honestly tell you that I used to get super angry and very irritable. With the help of therapy and time I have able to get over these pretty successfully. I had to miss about 8 weeks of school and only went half days when I did. Please tell your son that the best way I had felt to get over this is to be with people that care about him. Friends and family are the best way to not let yourself feel alone and different. I will pray for your family and let him know that their are people out there for him. Thank you.

His post concussive symptoms are definitely getting better.....the violent headaches are gone, he's having some more milder ones, but the most concerning are the behavioral ones. He is very quick to anger and has had a number of aggressive/violent outbursts. Those have also less with time, but he's so afraid that it's going to happen in school and he can't control himself. He's never had these types of outbursts before the concussion. The neurologist has said that things should lessen over time as the concussion completely heals, but it's so frustrating and scary in the meantime.
Have any of you seen these types of behavioral issues? I keep getting that they are "A-typical."
Thanks for any help.
