Jennifer and Mark discuss the interaction between Chronic Mental Illness and Acquired Brain Injury .
In this video, Jennifer and Mark discuss how pre-existing mental illness may interact with acquired brain injury. Many people with ABI have a history of pre-existing chronic mental illness and we discuss how pre-existing mental illness may increase the likelihood of ABI and how it may effect symptoms of disorders such as schizophrenia, manic-depressive disorder, anxiety, and depression.
Acquired Brain Injury may also increase the chances of a person experiencing mental illness such as Post-Traumatic Psychosis, Clinical Depression Due to Medical Condition , (Acquired Brain Injury) Personality Change Due To Medical Condition (Acquired Brain Injury) or other mental health disorders such as A...

the culture of scientific discourse is autocratic and insane. you can't hold a conversation and talk complete nonsense. you refuse to examine literature outside of the bounds of your dysfunctional consensus, parroting establishment credo to the point of slaughtering every patient you can influence. what about Dr. Andrew Moulden? what about Dr. Ross Hauser and his thesis regarding spine injury and disease in relation to the vagus nerve. all of you in the profession are nothing but mass murdering creeps. absolutely childish. off the charts with evil. psychiatry is Nazism and when these pills are given to those with brain injury they die young, usually in the streets or in custody. and you eat their meat.
Hello, I love your videos is there a way I could message you and ask some questions, I am a tbi survivor I need a chat about adhd medications, and self medicating cocaine for years for the opposite effect, would love to find out some answers please x
I am on a waiting list for adhd examination but I really can’t wait, it is 100 percent clear that I have adhd since my brain injury
I have been using cocaine since after the brain injury couldn’t explain why I started snorting cocaine but a small dose would be perfect if it wasn’t cocaine…. I hope you know what I mean, if it wasn’t cocaine that made me feel normal and calm again I wouldn’t need any more
But the doctors don’t understand like what you do, they think I’m just a drug addict looking for another high but I’m not, the amount of research I do looking for answers all point to my tbi, I go to sleep listening to your videos x
I mean I close my eyes and listen every night not that I fall asleep lol x
I’m on #2 and I have 2 family members with this I believe. It’s horrible to watch happen.
Dang I LOVE this guy! He gets all of us who have suffered so much. I fell off a trailer almost 2 years ago and needed an emergent craniotomy for epidural hematoma with skull fractures. Glad to be alive! Thanks for ALL your videos, you are putting words to everything we all feel. Many thanks and keep up the good work!!
I went into septic shock when I was in the military nearly died some say I did. Now I am fully disabled with brain injury from it but I survived and survived because of quick intervention. When I came back and still in survival mode it feels like lots of me is no longer there. PTSD is also crazy...
Thank you so much for the informative video, I especially appreciate the action items. Truly a Godsend for someone blindly navigating the nuances of TBI and struggling with the lack of therapeutic care due to short staffing/poor communication at the hospital.
Ty so much for this information as a man learning to find his direction through the valley of the shadow of TBI and a frontal severe TBI at that. TY just shared this with hope it would help people socially understand the changes to my health recently.
I suffer from tbi my symptoms didn’t happen until 4 years after the injury occurred.
Would my doctor be offended if I just shown him this video ? And said here u go, this might help you out a lot, Because the way this guy has just explained my situation in half hour iv been hoping for this
This is unbelievable somebody in this world actually knows what has gone wrong with my brain!!! After 12 years of wondering what the hell is wrong with me, I had frontal love damage in a car accident lost smell and taste, big respect for this video I need everybody who meets me to watch this video !!!!
people will never know the feeling of loosing usual control of your bodys behaviors that we have had since birth and abruptly loose. You are not alone friend there are others like me wandering through the same darkness and it does feel good to know we are not alone.
I had my ureter severed during a vaginal hysterectomy. I filled up with urine 30 days before I was told get help or die. Doctors ran. That's not normal to live 30 days, they said. I've never been the same. It was hell. Still is.
Thanks
I hope you make sime videos before this premiere
the advice is absolutely harmful. humans must not treat one another in accordance with the principles associated with lab animals in cages involving stimulus response algorithms associated with Skinner and Pavlovian type behaviorism. this is truly disgusting. outlandish and reprehensible. this fellow should be imprisoned and corrected for so much as suggesting such a manner of conduct. truly.
Are you a TBI survivor or do you have a loved one who is?
What is the "acute" aspect of metabolic encephalopathy? Numerous symptoms have continued since the event of exposure to pesticides.
Do you provide consultations?
thank you for your hard work and time making these videos. extremely helpful ❤💚
WELL SAID SIR,MY OUTCOME OF ENCAFFELITES
I'm still having problems with anger management, especially under stress. Going to have to try Abilify and/or a beta blocker--Propanolol.
I would be careful with Depakote/Valproic-Acid. I took in some years ago, only to incur injury to the liver as a result. Although i was fortunate to have recovered from the incident, the literature suggests that in many cases the pathology once instigated can become progressive, even resulting in death. So please be attentive. Also, Lamictal appears to be associated with the potential for a severe skin reaction, so I would also recommend caution with this medication as well, should it come into consideration. As regards to anti-convulsants, the most common and natural of all that is used in veterinary medicine is potassium bromide. I take this often, along with lithium. however the problem lf intermittent explosive disorder, per the DSM label, persists, particularly in response to any uptick in life stressors. very grateful for the advice in this video. anger management, though of value, is highly over-rated and as indicated in many animal models including our very own pets, the problem can be intrasigent and therefore often either under-treated or mistreated. those of us afflicted risk induction into situations of involuntary confinement which given the prevailing socio-economic factors can result in premature death via disposession and homelessness. I myself am now seeking to upgrade my own treatment protocols with regard to the anger issue as the matter of personal safety is of the utmost importance. Cigerrettes used to be my go-to drug, but since I quit the need to find a better, pharmacological substitute has become very evident. painfully so.
Thankyou so so much for this very informative video on ABI/TBI. 💫🙂☀️🌺🌸💮🏵️🌻
Thank you🎉🎉 You do an awesome job explaining. The brain doesn't play games. It's fascinating. The complexities....
Thank you!!

Can TBI trigger EBV?
My Daughter-In-Law had a Anoxia caused by anaphylaxis. It was sudden and lasted approx 5 minures. We feared that she would have severe brain damage but has done amazingly well but has short term memory loss and irritability. What part of her brain is damaged?
Thank you so, so much for this
Great video Kim and Mark
Wow, amazing info, thank you so much!!
The audio isn’t good, can barely hear her
Very informative, scary how many things can cause brain damage
Ah crap. I’m experiencing this behaviour with a housemate. How can you reason with someone in such a state?
Thank you for your thorough explanation. I stumbled upon your channel and the information has been extremely helpful in understanding what my little brother is going through. His accident happened two weeks ago and he is just now beginning to "awaken" from a coma.
are there some medicines to treats those conditions and those most unpleased symptoms..??please DR ...
We are sorry about the sound on this one folks…Sarah is a survivor and resident physician interested brain injury medicine…Mark is a survivor and brain injury specialist too…this video is a helpful to watch…
My TBI in 1979 caused complete loss of smell.
thank you for your show.I have fronttolob demand since I was 2 years old And after that, And. heading injuries after that specially to the front of my head I have must the problems you talk about. You explain things so well.
Broad spectrum anti biotics. Yea enjoy your neurological symptoms
I was a passenger in a car that got into a horrible accident in feb 2024. 3 months later was in another accident. Someone hit me from behind. The first accident my driver hit someone head on. I’m in PT, vision therapy, and I see a chiropractor. I’m constantly in fight or flight. I look normal but I’m not. Light sensitivity is like something I’ve never experienced. As with noise sensitivity and I’m an emotional wreck most of the time. MRI and CT scans came out normal. Thank you for these videos. They help
I do have a video I made with a friend on here...most of the time, CTs and MRIs are unremarkable and we discuss why...essentially the damage is microscopic and beyond the resolving power of the CT or MRI.
Thank you for posting this video. My son suffered from generalizing seizure disorder that were resistant to medication from 5 YO to 12 YO. At 15 suffered a sudden cognitive decline and I had him tested at the University of Miami CARD. He was diagnosed with frontal lobe damage. His MRI also showed a reduction in the size of his left temporal lobe. Everything you describe, explains his challenges. He was never able to read or write as he had no access to phonetic memory as well. At 21 he began hearing voices and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He became aggressive with me. I had no other option than to place him in housing where he could receive 24/7 care and supervision. I have experienced stages of frustration, anguish, anger, and helplessness, trying to get him an education, medical care, psychiatric, therapy and employment supports. I would settle for anything that makes him feel worthy. It is very difficult to find a community that understands our struggles. If you know of any center that works with these patients, can you please share that information?
Long term neuropsychiatric care for patients with acquired brain injury is difficult to find…there are some places that do provide long term care for people with Traumatic Brain Injury, but I’m unaware of any that provide direct care for people with concomitant neuropsychiatric deficits such as aggressive behavior…honestly this is exactly what I’d like to see established…because neuropsychiatric disorders are what make recovery so challenging…I suspect you may find an answer by contacting a rehabilitation medicine physician or neuropsychiatrist or Brain Injury Medicine physician…unfortunately only recently, as in this year has acquired brain injury been recognized by Medicare/Medicaid as a “chronic condition” and warranted funding for chronic treatment. This is all I can think of at the moment. If I think of something else, I’ll let you know… prayers for more answers
I would like to speak with you. My son is 24 years old.
Can you do a video on encephlamalcia
i do have one...
@@detoursunderstandingacquir7282 where can I find it? I have it all over my brain along with brain atrophy and no one explains it that well to me so I can understand
@@detoursunderstandingacquir7282 where can I find it
@@detoursunderstandingacquir7282 I watched it, thank you. I still have confusion as to why my neurologist tells me to stay away from my horses and one more blow to my head could be lights out for me. No one gives me any straight answers
1st - Ice skating. Legs went out from under me, tried to put my hands down, they slipped apart, hit on left side of forehead, head bounced like a basketball, vision in right eye vibrated for 30ish seconds. 2nd time - jumped by 5 guys, king hit behind right ear knocked out, hit the concrete, head stomped, left side temple area, basal skull fractures in prefrontal lobe area. CSF leak. Frustration, anger, rage issues. Easily triggered. No drive. Need reassurance like a child when triggered. Shit story, bro.
Can you do one on scattered white matter and TBI
Can I request a video covering birth related TBIs mine was from forceps. Could you also talk about the RTPJ area and effects of post traumatic hydrocephalus.
Is there any information on the American expatriates that have experienced the Havana Syndrome? The microwave lasers and other focused energy weapons used seem highly dangerous. From what I’ve heard the symptoms sound very similar to ABI.
There isn't much research in the neurology or neuropsychology or rehabilitation journals more than what we've mentioned. We do try to avoid speculation. Havana Syndrome is an area of much controversy in medical circles with some speculating its a case of MPI (Mass Psychogenic Illness) which I do find fascinating and some suggesting a brain infection and others suggesting deliberate or accidental chemical or toxic exposure, and others suggesting a high energy weapon. Honestly, any of these are possible or something no one has considered. Till we know more, other than a video briefly talking about these possibilities, I can't say much more about it.
I had a birth TBI from forceps 7 1/2 premiere Skull fracture located near rTPJ, brain bleed, posttraumatic hydrocephalus EVD in NICU (unshunted), apnea detection sleep machine for first year of my life, 4 month surgery on skull, Epilepsy (grandmal and pitimal seizures) diagnosis around 5. Grandmal seizures stopped in grade school still have pitimal, Reading and spelling comprehension disabilities, Strabismus esotropia intermittent unilateral, sensory issues, central auditory (I lose words with too much background noise), migraines, depression and anxiety. By the time I was 25 my MRI didn't show the damage but the lasting effects are still there 4 decades later. I don't take any allopathic meds anymore. Herbal supplements,teas, tinctures and a healthy brain diet with regimented sleep schedule, daytime schedule and reduced external stressors as much as possible. Thank you so much for making this.
I was assaulted in 2012. I had my head stomped on after being knocked out from behind by a king hit behind my right ear. When I came too, there was a guy sitting on my legs holding me up with one hand while repeatedly punching me in the face. I remember just seeing flashes. Each flash was a punch to the face. Basal skull fractures, fracture through the cribriform plate of the ethmoid, lateral to the crista galli, permitting leak of CSF fluid. The perpendicular plate, vomer, and nasal bone were fractured. 13 years later I have been diagnosed with PTSD. A targeted MRI by a neuropsychogist reveled neuro inflammation. He perscribed minocycline 100mgs twice daily to target microglial inflammatory reactivity. My GP has no experience treating neuro inflammation. Is there anything else you might recomend I ask my GP to look into that could be of benifit in treatment of neuro inflammation? I take meletonin to help with sleep issues due to PTSD and my research has shown this to possibly be of some benifit due to its anti inflammatory effects but perhaps not at the dose im taking for sleep? Any input would be much appreciated. Thank you for making your videos available to all. That you share freely your vast knowledge and experience is greatly appreciated also.
That is amazing
I have a mix
its a difficult diagnosis, we know it looms over us...just hoping to make it another day till they find answers...
