Actually, concussion does not even require a direct blow to the head. Concussion can be caused by a whiplash or shaking injury or a body blow and there's plenty of supporting information available.
@Haseeb 2 I see you never got an answer. The answer is no. concussions are caused when the brain slams against the inside of the skull. Head impact is the most usual but any violent shake or snapping action can have same effect. If nothing causes the brain to impact the inside of the skull, then there is no concussion.
Got a severe concussion in a car accident when I was 17 years old who’s play junior hockey in Toronto at the time didn’t think anything of it I didn’t even know what a concussion was but two weeks later sustained a pretty good headshot and lost the ability to speak for almost 4 months I just stained almost 15 concussions of the course of a very uneventful Junior career God I wish I knew more than
Parents still enrolling their kids in violent contact sports... coaches still pushing them on the field with no care for their safety. And nobody is held legally accountable when they get concussions or other life-threatening injuries. That needs to change.
7:00 long term issues: Difficulty concentrating, speed of concentrating, lights to the point of causing migraine, sounds, short and long term memory, ability to articulate what you are thinking, remebering names, rapid and severe mood swings, tinnitus and dyscalculia. To name a few. I've had 10 concussions, anywhere from temporary mild vision loss to loss of consciousness (5 times). By time I left high school I used to say I had only broken 1 bone but broke it three times, that is if you count the skull as 1 bone instead of 14. None of mine were due to sports.
Thank you for this video about brain concussions. From time to time, brain concussions including attentional control issues are discussed at the ADHD Bulletin Board - a Yahoo Group. Thank you.
I fainted in the bathroom 4 months ago and hit my head off the wall and twisted my neck. checked out at the hospital, ok, got diagnosed yesterday as having post concussive syndrome after spending the last few months dead tired, no focus and memory and cognitive problems. I've had to pull out of a promotion i was in the running for.
I've had a couple really bad concussions that I'm pretty certain have given me long-term damage. I wasn't able to afford health insurance so I couldn't get any help. God bless the American capitalist system...
Prevention is the only cure for brain injury, I didn't like that phrase because there is obviously a lot to research in our brain, this gives no hope to the ones we're suffering from post concussion effects.
Mr. Putin it's sadly only the true cure. Concussions or CTE cause so many side effects, and you would need so many medications to deal with each side effect. There is hope for everyone, but not a soul on this earth deserves to get concussions or deal with the symptoms of concussions
I really dont think so, not all concussion end up in CTE, I believe that in the years to come there will be treatments available for concussions to prevent future outcomes, there is a lot of research to be done.
It's already here. I personally have had at least 7 known concussions over a 15 year period and the meds helped a little but I still had trouble. It was not until I went to an Upper Cervical Specific Doctor that the injury was shown to me, fixed and corrected. For the past 20 years I am living proof of a complete recovery. I studied for many years following to be able to offer this same very precise and specific care which helps correct the injury after concussion.
Concussion is actually considered a "mild TBI" and is quite recoverable if treated correctly. 70% of patients recover fully within a month while 30% have persistent symptoms, but even those are not hopeless. But repeated concussions are dangerous and can cause degenerative brain disease like ALS, Parkinsonism and CTE. Definitely want to avoid that.
I’ve had several concussions, and my last one was about 6-7 months ago and now I don’t think very well and it takes me a bit longer, I’m not good at listening or remembering stuff, I’ve been getting paranoid only when I’m alone which never happens cuz I love being alone, and recently I’ve been getting hotheaded very fast. Do you think this is from concussions?
I have the same symptoms. 9 concussions overall ... last concussion was a year ago. I don't think I'll ever be the same. Can't think on my feet, easily bothered by noises/sounds ... bright lights.
there is nothing that can be done to help someone with a tbi? I beileve i had a unique tbi, in boxing, i was fine getting hit in the bare head or with a hockey helmet on, but then i got this rubber helmet and it really hurt me. My life is pretty ruined. Time means nothing to me, i let weekends go by, ive been like this since it happened 6 years ago. I can almost feel my brain loading my vision, i cant describe it. More than that i just feel detached from all my friends and life, im always in pain, and im just waiting for every hangout with friends to be over, im not enjoying life. I dont want to leave this earth, but im not really enjoying my life either, its torturous. No one can really do anything or say anything to take the pain i feel away. All the times i had with my friends are gone, and i wont be my parents age at 55 sitting around with old friends laughing and have drinks, my whole life has been ruined! And i beileve its from an unsafe rubber like material helmet.
I can guarantee with no doubts at all that your brain could not take any hits to the head without severe consequences. There is no safe way to box, play football, or any contact sport. The rubber helmet was later in your sporting life, so it was likely a mixture of bad protection and your brain already being damaged from the previous hits. Every small hit to the head, is a concussion. You cannot get hit in the head and be fine. The effects you are feeling are likely CTE, they can be treated but do not attribute it to a helmet. Helmets have been shown in so many studies to not provide any additional safety. Your brain moves regardless, there's no safe way of taking those hits.
also my brain was completely fine before i got that helmet i can assure you. My head never felt bad afterward i boxed with friends, and i was completely fine. The very first time i put that helmet on and fought i got rekt. These are things you have to experience to beileve. The helmet was called top ten full protection. Made of bayflex rubber.
Hello Liam, I have had a lot of luck with Functional Neurology. A lot of your symptoms seem very similar to mine, both physical and mental. but good news! they are getting better! My case is a Neurological Injury vs. a brain injury. The rehab has been very expensive, but also extremely helpful. Contact Plasticity Brain Center. They may have a shot at helping you, or forward you to someone that can help you. My heart goes out to you. I hope you find a method of recovery that helps you. Recovery doesn't happen immediately, but there is no way I could Imagine being where I am today :)
Its so cute that we never look who caused these injuries on the masses. Now very young peoplen seem to have these dis eases.. Let's work on that, then we will hardly have any disease any more
I am trying to find the reason my brain is vibrating. I have worked with intellectually disabled client who have behaviors. I have been hit in the head very hard several times in the past. Does anyone have any ideas if this could be the issue. I can't find much information at all. I am going to see a neurologist but it is taking a while. Just wondered if anyone had a clue. Thanks
My heart genuinley goes out to people with brain injuries. It's the most important organ but we'll only ever truly realise that until it's too late.
just lost my brother to this. he was a professional judo player. random suicide out of nowhere.
Thank you 🙏🏼

Are you fine now?
Fasting, exercise healthy diet, avoid drugs, alcohol

Robert Arnone what kind of operation did you have?

I have been dealing with post concussion syndrome for 2 and 1/2 now
I’ve had several concussions, and my last one was about 6-7 months ago and now I don’t think very well and it takes me a bit longer, I’m not good at listening or remembering stuff, I’ve been getting paranoid only when I’m alone which never happens cuz I love being alone, and recently I’ve been getting hotheaded very fast.

How are you now? I had a concussion yesterday bro, feeling weird. My head feels heavy, ringing in ears, loss of appetite, neck stiffness.
Yes very possibly
@@Flexpanthers are you feeling better now? I just had one a month ago and I'm finally starting to feel good again
I have the same symptoms. 9 concussions overall ... last concussion was a year ago. I don't think I'll ever be the same. Can't think on my feet, easily bothered by noises/sounds ... bright lights.

also why has it been 6 years and im stuck like this, normal concussions people recover from in a few weeks. I guess my brain is pretty damaged?

And it takes a month at the VERY MINIMUM to recover from a concussion. It is not a few weeks.
also my brain was completely fine before i got that helmet i can assure you. My head never felt bad afterward i boxed with friends, and i was completely fine.

Any updates since a year ago?
Why can't this guy stop breathing into the microphone?
Someone get this lady a glass of water, listening to her slap her dry mouth together after every sentence in unbearable
I Feel bad for this crowd. Geez lady loosen up
It is a serious subject I suppose, but do you reckon she could lighten things up by 'cracking' a few concussion jokes?
Why does she make so many lip mouth
noises when she speaks? Is it stage fright?
Yall don't even know the difference between a concussion and cte lol tryna sound like intellectuals. JK tho there is a big differnece so research it
