I have improved a lot but still suffer from extreme fatigue, confusion at times and headaches.

Last Friday I was driving and came to a red traffic light needing to turn right and I got so confused I didn't know what I was supposed to do. I tried to think and I thought well the traffic across from me is stopped so it's ok to turn right. I couldn't think about the oncoming traffic coming from the other direction and luckily slammed on my brakes as I saw the cars coming. That was one of my most scary moments.

I feel some mornings that my body feels like lead and I just can't get up and go to work. Please help.....is this normal for PCS? My doctor keeps trying to say it's depression but I wasn't feeling like this until after my accident.
