saxac,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. You have found a good place.

Even if you found a good doctor, I doubt there is much they can do for you. You 'keep to yourself' symptom is called schizoid behavior. Some call it a disorder. I believe it is a coping mechanism people like us develop as a protective mechanism.

What symptoms are the most trouble for you?

There are plenty of people here who can suggest ways to lessen some symptoms and live better with the others.

From you description of your first injury, it sounds like your impact was to the rear of your head. You may have damaged the lobes at the rear of your brain. This could have caused your frontal lobes to over-develop. Just a thought from a thinker.

Your best bet is likely finding a neuro-psychologist who can do a NeuroPsychological Assessment. Then you can be offered a treatment/therapy program that can help you learn skills for living with your struggles and even over-come some.

But, as I said, many of us can offer good support and suggestions.

It would help if you told us a bit more about yourself. Male/female, family and living situation, general health, things you've tried to help with your struggles, and anything else you care to tell us.

You did good by not posting one long paragraph. 5 lines per paragraph is about the limit for some of us.

So, we are here for you.

My best to you.
