Answer 1

A basic rundown:

Cognitive Effects of Brain Injury

Depending upon the severity of the injury, long-term cognitive effects are possible. The most common long-term cognitive effects include memory loss, post-traumatic amnesia, concentration and attention problems, communication and language issues, and post-traumatic dementia.

Sensory Effects of Brain Injury

Long-term effects on the senses are also possible, including problems with vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

Emotional Effects of Brain Injury

Some patients experience long-term emotional or behavioral problems after experiencing a brain injury. Common emotional effects include irritability, anxiety, insomnia, depression, confusion, frustration, agitation, mood swings, and clinical depression. Behaviors may include violence, inappropriate actions, emotional outbursts, lack of self control, impulsivity, poor self-awareness, and alcohol and drug abuse.

Physical Effects of Brain Injury

Seizure is the most common long-term physical effect among those who have experienced a brain injury, especially those who have contusions or hematomas. Other physical that may result from brain injury include Parkinson’s disease, loss of coordination, partial paralysis, and sudden muscle contractions.

Answer 2

A tree fell on me ( actually part of a Eucalyptus decided to shed a major

branch that day) in 1977 and I have had to learn to deal with it  over the

rest of my life.  As long as I had no long term symptoms like migraines or

seizures, the medical community could care less.  So I have tried meditation, biofeedback, NLP, yoga, exercise, Sam e ( Jarrow lab products are made in Italy, not China).  Anxiety and delayed stress are

symptoms to deal with.  I do best if I have lots of alone time which is not good for the anxiety/depression so it gets to be a balancing act.  Luckily I have some good friends who are patient with me or maybe my good points outweigh my nervous irritability?  The exercise and yoga and the Sam e really, really help.  There is something called brain gym which are exercises to link the right and left side of the brain which you can do at home and are very helpful.  I would just work part time if you have to work at all in the typical slave labor position or try to work nights or doing something by yourself like writing or shelving.  too much too fast coming at you will overload your brain and exhaust you more than most people are from work.  Hopefully you will find this helpful.
