A concussion is a type of mild traumatic brain injury in which brain tissue is damaged and functioning is temporarily interfered with. Concussions can occur in events or accidents when force is applied to the head or body, such as in motor vehicle accidents or a blow to the head during sports.
A concussion is a type of mild traumatic brain injury in which brain tissue is damaged and functioning is temporarily interfered with. Concussions can occur in events or accidents when force is applied to the head or body, such as in motor vehicle accidents or a blow to the head during sports. It is important to seek medical assessment immediately if a concussion is suspected.
While most people recover fully and quickly from concussions, a small population do find that the symptoms persist. This can increase the likelihood of experiencing symptoms of common mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression. If symptoms do not resolve, it can be helpful to see a neuropsychologist or other specialized therapist. A neuropsychologist can assess your memory, attention, mood, and personality, among other factors; this helps them to better understand the problem and determine which aspects of your brain may be affected. Neuropsychologists use this information to help with treatment, education, and rehabilitation.
