I feel that it wasn't the incident itself that caused so much impact because I was only unconscious for lets say 3 to 5 minutes but the extremely stressful and painful time I had immediately afterwards as well as in the following three years under my abusive parents and the social isolation at school. Subsequently I changed my behavior which interrupted my development as a whole. The NPA from that time states I developed a dysfunctional adaptation with moderate depressive episodes. Well anyway, thank you Mark from Idaho for all the time you've spent here to help me. I learned a lot. =) |

As I said, the military send 18 to 20 year olds into battle because of their maturity level. Once they mature a bit more, they are less willing to take the chances/risks that younger, less mature persons would take.
So, maturity is about judgement and such. Being able to weight risk vs benefit, etc. It does not sound like you has a Neuro Psych Assessment. It sounds more like you had a comprehensive psychological assessment. An NPA takes 4 to 12 hours of testing or more. Add some cognitive and memory dysfunctions to maturity issues and depression and life can be a struggle. PCS can make depression more prevalent. The struggle with your parents was likely made worse by their lack of understanding your personality changes and other struggles. I know my personality changes made my home life more difficult until I was put on seizure meds that also helped settle my personality a bit. It is easy to place blame on others but we are the ones living with our condition and only we can make the choices to try to move forward in a positive way. We can choose to rely on others for help with our personality struggles and other struggles. Finding that person who we can trust can be a challenge but worth it.
