The Traumatized Brain
To be mild car accident five years ago, “John” began suffering from a host of symptoms—headaches, fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating. At the time of the accident—John was rear-ended by the driver behind him—he was diagnosed with concussion and mild whiplash. But he and his wife had been struggling with the aftermath ever since.Brain scans showed no visible damage, and during the next few years John saw several doctors and specialists who gave him a haphazard regimen of drugs and recommendations, but no solutions. Apathy, depression, anger, and mood shifts strained his marriage and family life to the breaking point. “It was just an awful situation,” he says. Finally his wife got him an appointment with Beth Adams, a neurotrauma rehabilitation specialist and case manager at Spaulding Hospital North Shore. Adams diagnosed post-concussion syndrome and connected the couple with doctors including Charlton professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation Ross Zafonte at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston.
