Default My Concussion and Personality Changes

This has been a creeping journey. Mildly concussed, and diagnosed as such, in January 2012. The over the coming months my whole world and my demeanour began to change.
I had all the usual symptoms; lack of sleep, irritability, headaches that would come and go, lack of concentration , inability to articulate, more emotional responses, lack of sex drive etc etc. This all all became most pronounced in the Fall of 2012. It was affecting my relationship with the man of my life etc etc.
I saw my Doctor in January 2013 and she suggested anti-depressants. i balked--hate meds!! I chose a more naturopathic approach and went to see a highly regarded fascial therapist. Went to him for about 3 months and i was showing slow improvement----but that was to be expected,
then in late April I stopped. you know, busy schedule and all!!
The symptoms began to re-appear but the most concerning were the personality changes.
I took it out primarily
on my partner with indifference , irritability , no intimacy etc, to the point where i recently told him weren`t working any longer.

I am stressed, making rash choices and i am worried.
is all of this `common` with PTCS??
