Default 5-6 Concussions

Hey guys I am new to this site, I've played hockey since the age of 5 and middle linebacker during high school. I sustained 3 diagnosed concussions, one of which was a grade 4, and several others that were not diagnosed because I had other injuries that were more apparent. My latest one that I can think of came three years ago during a hockey game in which I was knocked unconscious for close to 5 minutes. I am now attending a University no longer playing any sports, however it is very difficult for me to concentrate in any of my classes for longer than 5-6 minutes at a time. My reading comprehension is nonexistent and shut down entirely when I become overwhelmed. The worst part of it all is the depression/mood swings. I can go from complete happiness to complete emptiness in a span of a few hours. Usually the most mood swings I have in a day is 3. But the depression absolutely kills me, I feel isolated and avoid people at all costs. I have to wake up every morning and put a smile on my face to keep my roommates from becoming too alarmed. I have seen a psychiatrist, psychologist, and now the doctor. They had me take a learning deficit test and believe I have ADHD symptoms, but the results aren't due back until the end of the week. The doctor told me today she was going to prescribe me a few medicines only to have me come in and tell me I may need to go see a neurologist. I need to find people who can help me cope with all of this and give me some pointers ANYTHING! THANK YOU.
