About Coping With Concussion And Mild Traumatic Brain
Product Description Endorsed by the leading professional experts in the field of brain injury, Coping with Concussion and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury, is a must-have guide for managing life in the aftermath of concussion. Often presenting itself after a head trauma, concussion-- or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI)-- can cause anxiety, chronic migraines, depression, memory, and sleep problems that can last for years, referred to as post concussion syndrome (PCS). Easy-to-read and informative, this book is an invaluable resource for understanding concussion, post concussion syndrome (PCS) and traumatic brain injury (TBI), as well as overcoming the challenges associated with these conditions. Neuropsychologist and concussion survivor Dr. Diane Roberts Stoler is the authority on all aspects of the recovery process. Coping with Concussion and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury is a lifeline for patients, parents, and other caregivers navigating the concussion course. From Booklist Concussions are more common than most folks might imagine. While the majority of mild traumatic brain injuries are the result of motor vehicle accidents, other causes include falls, physical assault and abuse, athletic injuries, and blast injuries. Outcomes can be unpredictable: permanent symptoms, problems that come and go, or complete recovery. Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) is diagnosed when symptoms do not abate within two weeks of onset. Certified health and sports neuropsychologist Stoler, who is herself a brain-injured patient, and coauthor Hill thoroughly cover the treatment of PCS symptoms, including headache, fatigue, balance and coordination disturbances, chronic pain, reduced memory and concentration, sleep difficulty, and behavioral troubles. Financial and insurance issues, rehabilitation, family dynamics, and emotional problems are also addressed. Stoler and Hill provide a practical guide for individuals coping with concussion symptoms and a useful resource for family members and caregivers. The neuroplasticity of the human brain—the organ’s ability to regroup and rebuild—is notable. Still, patience is paramount in the sphere of post-concussion syndrome. --Tony Miksanek From the Inside Flap "Coping with Concussion and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury is a long-awaited prescription for the millions who experience a so-called mild TBI and for their families and care providers. Incorporating detailed information, practical suggestions, and personal insights, Dr. Stoler has compiled a must-have encyclopedia for managing life after concussion." -Susan H. Connors, President and CEO, Brain Injury Association of America From the Back Cover Every thirteen seconds, a concussion/mild traumatic brain injury happens somewhere in the world, whether it's from an automobile accident, assault, fall, blast injury, or sports collision. Unfortunately, many of those affected will suffer post concussion syndrome (PCS), which consists of chronic fatigue, headaches, depression, memory issues, sleep problems, and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that can last for years. In Coping with Concussion and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury, Dr. Diane Roberts Stoler, a neuropsychologist, practicing board-certified health and sports psychologist, and a multiple-concussion survivor herself, sets out to cover every aspect of this often mystifying condition. Using clear, easy-to-understand language, Dr. Stoler and Barbara Albers Hill explain the most common physical, mental, and psychological symptoms of brain injury and offer practical suggestions for dealing with each problem. Complete with traditional, complementary, and alternative treatment options, suggestions for overcoming obstacles, and advice on financial matters, Coping with Concussion and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury is a lifeline for patients, families, and other caregivers.
