Brain Functioning and Concussion Fact Sheet

It is highly likely that you, and your children if you have any, have had one or more undetected concussions in your life.  The reasons that these concussions have been undetected are surprising and extremely relevant for your health, and success in school, work, behavioral control, and relationships.

Concussions go undetected due to 2 Primary Myths:

· MYTH #1:  You have not had a concussion if you didn’t lose consciousness, go to the hospital, or have serious symptoms the next day after the concussion.  This myth causes most concussions to go undetected because people in most cases feel better, and mostly ok, the day or two following the head injury (either blow to the head or concussive force injury like whiplash or extreme, sudden motion by the head).

· MYTH #2:  The symptoms of a concussion go away in less than 10 days.  The most obvious, acute symptoms usually do go away in 10 days or less, but this does not mean that the negative effects of a concussion have gone away. In most cases, the negative effects of a concussion and harmful adjustments to it go undetected and have been permanent.

Detecting and treating concussions successfully can help children and adolescents who are experiencing the following problems:

· Academic problems in school

· Recurring athletic or sports injuries

· Behavioral problems at home or school

· Problems with self-esteem

· High stress, anxiety, or depression

Detecting and treating concussions successfully can help adults who are experiencing the following problems:

· Chronic headaches or other pain

· Poor attention and concentration

· Memory problems

· High stress, anxiety, or depression

· Substance abuse problems

· Problems with the criminal justice system

Why is this true?

Any injury to the brain, including ones that haven’t previously been diagnosed as concussions, leads to adjustments or compensations.  These compensations help solve an immediate problem the brain has detected but lead to problems in other areas.   Concussions that are undetected or untreated cause progressively worsening symptoms, like the ones listed above.
