Perna: I would imagine that's primarily in cases where the traumatized party experienced a loss of consciousness, which I did not. Trust me on this one, I'm not new on the PTSD/TBI scene, I've been dealing with this for almost 5 years.

In the eyes of conventional (and particularly western) medicine, my post concussive symptoms and disabilities (and likely my PTSD symptoms) have been permanent for over 4 years now, but if I've learned one thing from all of this it's that western medicine doesn't know its head from its ***. I've gained 1000% more of myself back in the past 9 months than I did in the first 4 years following my fall. That said, I've still got more work to do.
