About this title

Synopsis

A blow to the head or the dramatic acceleration and deceleration that occur in a serious car crash can cause a traumatic injury to the brain. At their most serious, these events are critical and life threatening, but even a mild incident can cause problems with memory, communication, and mental focus. What’s worse, this kind of cognitive function loss often causes other psychological symptoms like depression and low self-esteem. Fortunately, there are things anyone can do to recover from a mild traumatic brain injury, get back lost cognitive ability, and restore a healthy frame of mind.

If you or someone you love has suffered a mild traumatic brain injury, this engaging workbook will help you:

•Learn the causes and symptoms of MTBI
•Understand the brain injury recovery timeline
•Manage medical care and set realistic goals for recovery
•Recover memory, communication, and visuospatial ability
•Cope with related symptoms like depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem
