Joining us today on Post Concussion Inc. is Dr. Michael Longyear to discuss how his personal experience led him to become passionate about helping people who are suffering from post-concussion syndrome.Tuning in, you’ll hear all about a very important aspect of concussion recovery that is often ignored, the importance of supporting a concussion survivor’s mental health, how to notice if they are struggling, why we need to remember to be kind to them, and so much more. Dr. Longyear shares the interesting idea that post-concussion syndrome is just PTSD before he explains how PTSD fits into concussion recovery. Finally, he reminds us that any athlete (or any person for that matter) can suffer from a concussion and that you don’t have to have hit your head to be suffering from a brain injury.
