Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (mTBI), concussion, and post-concussion syndrome have traditionally been managed conservatively, with recommendations for rest. However, it is important to recognize that even mild brain injuries and post-concussion syndrome can have a significant impact on a person's life, extending far beyond the expected three-month resolution period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new research highlights significant differences in how concussion affects men and women. Understanding and Living Well with Post-Concussion Syndrome provides valuable insights and practical strategies for managing the impact of any mild brain injury. Written by neuropsychologist Dr. Priyanka Pradhan and coach Anna Leggett, the book offers a comprehensive guide to overcoming the challenges posed by concussion. It explains what a concussion is, how it may present itself, and provides comprehensive practical approaches for managing persistent symptoms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrategies discussed include seeking professional and specialist medical help, as well as simple self-management techniques. The book also emphasizes the importance of sleep and diet, and provides significant psychological and emotional support for mental well-being and recovery, often lacking in the clinical pathway for post-concussion syndrome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a vital resource for individuals who are seeking understanding, practical assistance, and emotional support for what is often perceived as an invisible illness, but one that profoundly affects their lives or the lives of their loved ones. By providing comprehensive information and practical guidance, Understanding and Living Well with Post-Concussion Syndrome empowers individuals to navigate the challenges associated with concussion and regain their quality of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 238g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 136 x 215 x 20 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781529346145\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Priyanka Pradhan,Anna Leggett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44097618215162,"sku":"9781529346145","price":10.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1669374679330_book.jpg?v=1669447483","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/understanding-and-living-well-with-postconcussion-syndrome-9781529346145","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
