All brain injuries are different. Are you seeing anyone professionally for your symptoms? Speech or occupational therapy may be helpful. Another suggestion would be to have a neuropsychological assessment done by a clinical neuropsychologist; they can help identify specific deficits and recommending specific treatment. This can be expensive but health insurance may cover this.

All brain injuries are different. You are way too young to be a "lost cause". Best to you as you recover.
thank you for your kind words. I have been seeing a clinical therapist for the last six years, but I do think seeing a neuropsychologist can be helpful in my case. I still have anger issues that quickly turn to depression because deep down, I'm not an angry person. I do look forward to speaking to more people on here, I finally feel like I have a place to turn instead of being in the dark.

I had anger issues along with depression. my md gave me abilify to go along with my Lexapro and it has done wonders! much more mellow. Things don't bother me as much, not sure if that would be an option or not for you. Wow you have had some concussions!! At least there is no permanent brain damage! I think lightrail is right a neuropsychologist may help you. Understand better what your going thru. Good Luck and take care

Kristina,
Welcome! You will be right at home with us on the traumatic brain injury/post concussive syndrome forum. I also have had 8 concussions. Just got through having neuropsychological testing. Waiting for the report now. We all have these same problems on the TBI/PCS forum. We understand. I had slurred speech for years. Still do at times. Come talk with us on our forum. You will find lots of help and support. You are not alone. I am sorry that you are suffering with this problem.
