If you have a host of symptom such as headaches, fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating and brain scans show no visible damage but you still experience apathy, depression, anger, and mood shifts even after months after the injury, post-concussion syndrome might be the operational diagnosis.
Rehabilitation psychology may offer you cognitive behavioral therapy to learn to manage the mood swings and fatigue.
You will be told that your “brain injury” is mild, yet it causes subtle but persistent changes in mood, memory, and cognitive abilities.
Patients with TBI and other conditions whose injuries have impaired their consciousness in some way should be aware that there is no gold standard for measuring consciousness and very little evidence concerning treatment effectiveness. There is not a single proven treatment for promoting recovery from brain injury. Instead, physicians manage medical symptoms and rely on rehabilitation to help restore cognitive and motor functions.
