Concussion

[Chosen]

so I got a concussion from the car accident I was in in March.

I've been so irritated. So anxious. So frustrated. So depressed. So discouraged.

I don't even know if it's just from the concussion or from the actual accident.

Has anyone had a concussion and felt this pyschological symptoms?

I've not had a concussion before, but I have heard that your symptoms can occur. After all March is not that far past. It could be a combination of both. Being anxious, for me, has always brought on a bit of depression, as it feels like I ought to be able to control the feelings.

With severe head trauma, I know for sure that it can be the cause, so I wouldn't be at all surprised that a concussion might cause a bit of it.

Give yourself time, I'd say at least 3 months, and if you are still having trouble, mention it to your doctor.

Here's a :hug: if you need it! You will improve with time!

My uncle has shared almost exactly the same symptoms. Even tough the doctors may not immediately validate your symptoms, keep looking and going to Providers that treat your symptoms, instead of not treating your symptoms.

From how I understand it, everyone's concussion has very individual symptoms. What I learned from my uncle, that I could pass on to you, is to not 'wait' for them to improve, since it could be 3 months to 3 years. The sooner you treat your symptoms, the sooner you can turn around the shock and trauma of the concussion.

An anxiety and depression can be easily treated with mediation. Medical treatment can be combined with Acupuncture, with non/low force chiropractic, physical therapy, counseling, and psychiatry.

I think I like Saetva's answer better. Better safe than sorry. Any accident that involves the brain needs to at least watched medically!
