Come to the calm of a well functioning brain.
Looking on the internet, I found this definition of concussion, or MTBI, mild traumatic brain injury. It is a brain injury caused by a blow to the head, a violent (!) shaking of the head and body. These injuries are very common, with 3 million cases a year, which occur most of the time to people between the ages of 3 and 40. The evidence also exists, that repeated head injuries are related to dementia. So the age limit could go on from there. The definition also goes on to say that it could be a mild blow to the head with or without loss of consciousness (loss of consciousness in my book, indicates a severe blow to the head). This blow to the head can also lead to temporary cognitive symptoms, including headache, confusion, lack of coordination, memory loss, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, ringing in the ears, sleepiness, and excessive fatigue. (Are all of these symptoms mild? With a combination of some they seem to be causing a problem.) The medical community, not including me, says that there is no cure. The best advice is to rest and restrict activities to allow the brain to recover. Has anyone tried to do this with a child or a teenager? So they also recommend that there is a temporary reduction in sports, video games (YAY!!!), TV (YAY!!!) and not too much socializing.
LENS neurofeedback can release those areas that have become inflexible due to any emotional or physical damage. Give it a try. I cannot say that it is a cure, but it helps.
