Concussion: What has happened to my brain?: A practical guide to recovery

by Peter Jenkins

Have you suffered a concussion? Do you still have symptoms that won’t get better? Do you wonder why your brain is not back to normal despite everyone telling you it should be?“Concussions” or minor head injuries are common. Half of us will experience one at some point in our life. Most people make a swift and complete recovery, but a significant proportion suffers ongoing problems that can last many months. Frequently called the “hidden disability”, people suffering head injuries often feel alone in their suffering and struggle to know what to do to get better. A common misperception is that these problems are from a damaged brain and there is nothing that can be done to help. But in What has happened to my brain? Consultant Neurologist and Brain Injury Expert, Dr Peter Jenkins, explains how a minor head injury can affect the brain, the different potential causes for persisting symptoms and the simple measures that can be taken to help resolve them. An understanding of what has happened to the brain and the cause of any residual symptoms is a crucial step towards recovery.This book details the changes that can happen in the brain and the reason behind some of the myths surrounding this condition. Treatable symptoms are frequently neglected after a head injury because of the false belief that nothing can be done to help. However, this is often not the case and the book outlines simple, effective treatments.
