Dear @bsimm54

I am so glad you posted here to find answers. Brain injury is very complicated. While seeing a neurologist and getting an EEG is a good step, I don't think it is a complete picture.

Here are three ideas that you may find helpful:

1) I recommend searching for a neuropsychologist who specializes in behavioral issues related to a traumatic brain injury (TBI). They can assess and treat the cognitive and psychological impacts of brain injuries, including behavioral changes.

2) Another good tool is getting a psych evaluation. My son, who sustained a very serious TBI, just had a psych evaluation done. It was several hours long and took two days. It was very insightful. It helped guide us.

3) A fabulous resource for learning strategies and techniques for navigating the challenges of brain injury: bestconnections.org --BEST (Brain Education Strategies Technology) provides free online group sessions and recorded videos to help brain injury survivors handle life's challenges. It's a wonderful organization. The sessions are great for BOTH the survivor and any caregivers/family members to attend.

Summary:
1) neuropsychologist who specializes in TBI
2) psych evaluation
3) bestconnections.org for learning strategies

I hope you have family/support people who can guide you. You will always have a brain injury, but the brain injury doesn't have to always have you!

Best Wishes,
Maria Lara
