One of the most insidious side effects of a brain injury is the psychological damage it causes. As a person’s physical brain injury heals and the symptoms and limitations stabilize, major depression often sets in. If this goes untreated or overlooked for a significant period of time, the symptoms often overlap with the cognitive injuries, such as personality changes, memory loss, difficulty concentrating and lethargy.
In many of our cases, the best approach is for a qualified team of brain injury specialists to treat the whole person by providing therapeutic counseling to help the client cope with his or her new limitations, to recognize and treat the psychological injury and to provide anti-depressants and other medications.

We serve as tireless advocates for our clients, and fight to recover a maximum recovery. This not only eases the stress of the situation, but also allows patients to receive the highest quality care.
