These quotes from "specialists" discounting mtbi are really surprising!

Dr. Michael McCrea, as Mark points out, is a PhD not a MD. His work focuses on sports a lot, so the role of psychology is really central.

The rehab center is also probably run by OT or PT, and they want to focus on strategies to help with daily accommodation.

Whether it is bias or blind spots or gaps in their knowledge, I am shocked that they are so categorically dismissive.

My neuro-ophthalmologist was very kind in underscoring that many specialists and doctors want to emphasize the "psychological" when they encounter difficult or a-typical recoveries.

With mild, traumatic brain injuries the injuries are "invisible" but create so many debilitating symptoms.

The truth is vision and vestibular functions are central to our body's orientation. If these vital systems are impaired, it is natural to feel off center. This isn't driven by psychology but by physiology, even if there are psychological aspects.

I've not been depressed in the clinical sense (I have too many friends who are therapists)-but I am more anxious to try to figure out my recovery when so little is known.

I think when specialists dismiss mtbi they reveal more about their limited understanding than anything else!
