New Hope for Concussions TBI & PTSD - Couverture souple

If you, or someone you love, have had a concussion, whiplash or brain injury - this book is for you.

Dr. Larry Komer and Joan Chandler Komer offer new hope to those with brain injuries. Millions of people of all ages experience concussions. Many others have a more serious event known as a traumatic brain injury. Battlefield injuries often include concussions or a TBI. These brain injuries can lead to a complex condition known as PTSD that can alter a person’s life, family and community. PTSD is a serious condition that often is difficult to treat. 73% of sufferers of PTSD also have TBI. Conventional diagnosis and treatment of these conditions often include, “I am sorry. There is nothing more we can do.” It is a prescription for despair and hopelessness.

This book will help you explore what concussions, TBI and PTSD are. This will be helpful for the injured person, their family, and for healthcare professionals. Dr. Komer shares his insights from the successful treatment of many patients at The Komer Brain Institute. Self-esteem coach, and educator Joan Chandler adds her valuable perspectives on how to cope with disappointments and loss often associated with injuries. Together, they share a powerful message of hope for the treatment of concussions, TBI, and PTSD.
