rolltide,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. I am sorry to hear of your injuries. Did you under-go surgeries to repair your broken body?

My first observation to "My neurologist told me my brain is fine and to go to a counselor. All signs are depression and ptsd. " is you need to find a different neuro. He is ignorant about mTBI. There are do definitive tests to rule out concussion or mTBI. There are tests that can image the damage. I posted a link recently in a sticky at the top of this forum with brain scan pictures showing the differences.

You will benefit from watching the YouTube video series at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9Xso...ature=youtu.be
It is 6 segments that take about an hour.

The TBI Survival Guide at www.tbiguide.com is also great.

Here are some links to check out:

After you have checked them out, feel free to ask more questions. There is plenty of good support here.

My best to you
