Hi Kandy and welcome. As Darlene posted above there is a forum specifically for TBI/PCS, lots more information is available there.
Some additional specifics about your fiancé’s concussion history would be useful. Anger and other forms of disinhibition are not uncommon with TBI survivors. When was his last concussion, and did his behavioral symptoms get worse after that? Has He been seen by a neurologist or clinical neuropsychologist? Often they help identify specific problem areas and prescribe appropriate treatments. Therapy and sometimes medication can help with these types of behavioral issues, but it assumes he is aware on them and is willing to work to try to resolve them. Meantime some general information about TBI/PCS can be found on the links below. Best to you both. http://www.brainline.org/index.html http://biausa.fyrian.com/state-affil...bia-of-indiana

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition. Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life. |
