Klaus, I totally agree with you. I have learned way more about my condition and treatment options from this board than any doctor seems to know. I have initiated every single action that has led to actual treatment and improvement in my condition, up to and including identifying med possibilities and dosages for my prescriptions. The only two things my doctor has initiated were "rest" (but did not explain the concept of brain rest) and prescriptions for opioid painkillers.

Mark, I do have a 2008 diagnosis of either mild or moderate depression in my medical records (I think mild but maybe not). I had been taking 20 mg of Prozac since that time. I think my depression screening tests that are on record at the doctor's office will show that it has worsened substantially since the concussion, though.

Fortunately, I do also have 12 months of short-term disability paperwork with the diagnostic codes for concussion and PCS on them and her signature.
