So much speculation about CD's head injury. I am here to say my son had a motorcycle accident 3 years ago. He suffered severe Traumatic Brain Injury among other things. His daily meds consist of vitamin B1,stomach medication, sinus medication, Baclofen for paralysis in left arm. Zoloft for depression. That's it! no Psy drugs, no pain meds. He does not exhibit weird behavior. He attends a local college working on a degree in the Pastorial field and Business. He paints in his art studio,He is on the media team at his church, he has two children with whom he is very active with.So, when I keep reading all the posts about TBI I had to jump in. Many people with TBI lead a very normal and productive life.
TY!
I have a severe TBI husband...it's been a long road..he woke up with a 5 yr old mind, we relearned colors, letters, numbers, time, making coffee, bathing, driving, etc..it's been 8 yrs in a few weeks (he was assaulted) . He has seizure meds and that's it, he is allergic to ALL pain meds except toradal, no psy drugs. For the most part he is normal now, he simply has to have to time to think, assimilate what he is seeing and needs to do, and then do things his way, he has issues (many of us do, without sustaining a TBI) and a temper since the injury, but when he has a temper fit, he throws things and then goes and hides (child like fit) thankfully, as he heals the fits aren't so bad as in the beginning, that is part of SOME people's TBI issues they deal with after, depending on the location of the actual injury. My mister was hit in the left temporal side, he has roughly a 'dead' area in his brain about the size of lime.
Everyone is different, and yes some with TBI do have violent issues, again, just like his schizo, it does NOT excuse murdering 4 people!
