Slip Through the Cracks - Why TBI Sufferers Slip Through the Cracks and What You Can Do

Written by: | Posted on: | Category:

Podcast host, Jeff Gould, the owner of a TBI therapy and coaching practice, begins this episode discussing his own TBI injury at the age of 13 and how his doctors, though well meaning, completely missed his diagnosis of a traumatic brain injury, even though, four days after his injury his personality began to significantly change as a result of the injury.

Forty years later, Jeff's works to help others find help with their traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, as he discusses in this episode, many medical practitioners still miss a correct diagnosis of TBI and many do not know what to do when TBI related symptoms and problems emerge.

Jeff discusses two tests, now widely available, that can help determine if someone has had a TBI and what the behavioral implications might be in their lives. The first test is a SPECT scan and the second is a qEEG scan. Both of these go beyond simply determining whether a person has suffered a concussion, a blood clot, or a fractured skull. Rather, they use novel and proven techniques to connect the functioning of a person's brain with behavioral symptoms.
