Post Concussion Syndrome

Post Concussion Syndrome (PCS) is also know as Post Traumatic Syndrome (PTS), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Chronic Brain Syndrome (CBS).

When the brain is subjected to injury by an external force the result can become Post Concussion Syndrome (PCS).

PCS interferes with the way the brain works.

Changing the brain process impairs the ability to think, do and know.

It changes the personality and produces rapid mood swings.

It affects the person's attention span, concentration and social interaction.

It causes depression, fatigue and the inability to work or learn.

Putting thoughts into words is very difficult.

Focusing on anything for a period of time is exhausting.......such as driving or balancing a check book.

Impossible to organize anything.

Panic attacks.

If you suffer from PCS just do the best that you can one day at a time.

Patience and persistence will pay off. Do not be discouraged by how long it takes for the brain to heal. It will heal. Life will get easier and better.

God bless!
