Have you ever heard someone say it’s “just a concussion”? It is common to minimize concussions down to just a “headache” - but it is so much more than that. Every concussion experience is different, and while some may recover, there are others with Persistent Post Concussion Symptoms who end up living with a completely changed reality.
In this episode for National Concussion Awareness Day, Cristabelle Braden discusses the realities of concussions, addressing common misconceptions, sharing personal experiences, and emphasizing the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment. She highlights the various symptoms of concussions, the need for immediate care in certain situations, and ultimately conveys a message of hope for recovery and healing within the brain injury community.
