When I was in a car accident I got a concusion....?

Question

I already had ADD but after the accident it seems like I forget a lot more...could it be because of the concusion?

Answer 1

There is something called post-concussion syndrome. Recent studies suggest that even mild head injuries can cause lasting neurological sequelae. So in theory, yes, but difficult to tell since you already have a history of ADD. Could even be due to the trauma of the accident. How long ago was it?

Bottom line, no one can tell without formally examining you, preferably a neurologist/neuropsychiatrist. Could be, but also could be not.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

It sure could be. A concussion rings your bell & there R sometimes long term effects. U little lady outta go to a Dr. & see a lawyer. Hope this helped U.
