Default Call it what it is: TBI

Hi Mint

I think the term post-concussive syndrome is really not accurate. You need to think about concussion for what it is: a brain injury. Brain injuries can widely range in severity. What most people call PCS is actually "mild traumatic brain injury." The word mild is misleading, because the effects of MTBI can be debilitating and life-long. I suffered a TBI a little over 2 years ago. There is an excellent book on the subject of MTBI, which I recommend to you. It is called Coping with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Guide to Living with the Challenges Associated with Concussion/Brain Injury, by Diane Roberts Stoler and Barbara Albers Hill. This is a very comprehensive book on all aspects of MTBI, how it affects your life, physical, mental and emotional effects, and recovery. It is an excellent resource.
