I would recommend that you arrange an appointment with a Neurologist/ Physiatrist and a NeuroPyschologist for evaluation of your needs.

Neurologist/Physiatrist for ongoing care and medication needs, if any; and directed care to therapies; and NeuroPsychologist for thorough evaluation of any depression associated with the concussion/pcs and cogitive issues... and recommendations of follow-up for therapy.

These are the usual practical needs with your current concussion/pcs complaints.

Have you been experiencing any vertigo, tinnitus, vision difficulties that seem to accompany you current complaints or are situational? Let your future care giver know about those also, even if they do not ask - many practitioners are not fully up-to-date about Concussions/PCS care and give those answers you have already received, and we as patients usually have to educate them as we go for care.

Best Wishes..........
