Does anyone on this board have depression, or any other mental illness, due to Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?

I am trying to help my 35 yr old son, who will not listen, and I have tons of questions about TBI. If it means I have to return to living in Florida (where my family is and where I raised my children) I WILL do this!!

Sorry ((((bigcasper)))) I don't know. Have you tried asking the internet, maybe your local doctor/ therapist, or your sons doctor? I am guessing your son is the person who has had the Traumatic Brain Injury. Hugs for your day.

hi bigcasper,
i dont know anything myself about TBI, but there is another thread on PC where someone was discussing how to separate depression or TBI. it's here: http://forums.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?t=109936

i think there were a few links posted in that article that you might find useful.

i reckon you'll do well with whatever decision you make - to move back to florida or not - you're sounding really motivated to help! and we will support you all the way, of course .

((bigcasper)) ...yes I do, personally. I think it's great what you are willing to do for your son. He is lucky to have you as a father.

You will find much more info suited to you and your son on Neurotalk, a sister site I believe.

Good Luck!

Peace and Love,

p.s. I used to be a member there, so I know there are lots of great folks and a dedicated TBI forum. A member called Vinny (if he is still there) is most informative, friendly and helpful.

Yes, I have posted a message on the PsychCentral TBI and PCS board.

I just thought it was worth the time to ask if anyone here had either of these conditions.

I do but am not comfortable talking on the boards about it yet.

If you have any specific questions, for the help of either you or your son, please feel free to pm me or pull me into chat.

Peace, Hope and Love,

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
