What is Post-Concussive Syndrome?
Symptoms of post-concussive syndrome may include headaches, dizziness and fatigue. Someone suffering from this syndrome may have subtle personality shifts, often becoming increasingly anxious and irritable for no apparent reason, or getting emotional and even depressed. Post-concussive syndrome can be frustrating for the victims themselves as well as family and friends. It often goes undiagnosed, since many doctors just do not understand how it manifests itself. Interestingly, the development of post-concussive syndrome is not directly related to the severity of the original concussion. A relatively minor head injury can result in a myriad of symptoms related to post-concussive syndrome.
