COPING WITH CONCUSSION AND MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY
Barbara Albers Hill Diane Roberts Stoler
A Guide to Living with the Challenges Associated with Post Concussion Syndrome and Brain Trauma
COPING WITH CONCUSSION AND MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY is an essential survival guide for anyone who has suffered from brain trauma. It will prove to be an invaluable resource that persons with MTBI can turn to time and time again for information, suggestions, and sound advice.
Millions of people around the world annually suffer mild head trauma from automobileaccidents, assaults, falls, and sports injuries. With a diagnosis of mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), the individual will be told to rest for a few days or weeks, and, with luck, that may be the end of it. But unfortunately, many of those affected suffer from ongoing, debilitating symptoms like migraines, depression, and seizures for months or even years. Symptoms are unpredictable and are difficult to diagnose because there is no single test to detect MTBI and post-concussive syndrome (PCS). Having gone through the experience of MTBI herself, psychologist Diane Roberts Stoler set out to provide help and information for other MTBI survivors and their loved ones. In the revised and updated COPING WITH CONCUSSION AND MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY, she and writer Barbara Albers Hill cover every aspect of this often mystifying condition.
Using clear, easy-to-understand language, the authors explain how the brain works and how it can be injured, the procedures used to diagnose brain injury, and the different treatments available. They then examine the most common physical, mental, and psychological symptoms of brain injury, explaining why each occurs and what can be done about it, as well as offering practical suggestions for coping with each problem. They also cover financial, insurance, and family issues; the rehabilitation process; and eventual outcomes. An extensive resource section provides additional guidance and sources of support. A whole chapter will be devoted to sport-related brain injuries and will show how to recognize a serious injury and respond to it to prevent further complications.
Diane Roberts Stoler is a board certified neuropsychologist and practicing licensed health and sport psychologist. A survivor of both an acquired and a traumatic brain injury, she now facilitates several support groups on topics related to brain injury and grief. She is a national and international speaker and an expert guest on talk television and radio. Barbara Albers Hill has written two books, Time Out for Children and Hush, Little Baby.
