I was recently diagnosed with significant cerebral atrophy which is not related to dementia or Alzheimer’s although I was also diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment. I suffered a very severe TBI in 1997 and a more minor one in 2015 that are thought to be the cause. I’m wondering if anyone can help with what to expect. I’m a mess of emotions and anxiety right now since I have to wait another year to get a timeframe but the symptoms are severe enough to require the neurologist appointment according to my PCP and a personal call from the doctor to give the diagnosis instead of a nurse. Any advice is truly appreciated!!

DBT therapy is an option. Is everything I knew deep done just reinforced & applied to life. Good luck!

Sorry for this news, Danielle. I wish I had anything to offer, but it's well outside my knowledge base. About the best you can do is to seek some help verbalizing your concerns with perhaps a social worker, good friend...anyone who will listen and maybe put their brain to work to help you to get on top of this better than you're managing right now. It's hard to be patient when things are going wrong, and when you feel helpless.
If it helps the least little bit, you're syntax and expression style are really great....so despite a slight cognitive impairment, you sound good in my humble judgement. 😀
