Q & A Subjects
Q - My son is on Zoloft now for 10 years. Often he relapses into clinical depression and anxiety that usually lasts about one to two months. He drinks beer when out with the boys about once our twice a month and probably on those occasions he drinks to much, he is aware that he can not mix medicine with alcohol and has stopped, but does not get better. Recently he mentioned that he has had several concussions in childhood due to falls and hockey situation on ice. Could it be possible that it has affected his brain function? Would brain mapping help? He is 35 years old.
A - We see many clients in similar circumstances. It is possible that your son has brain injury from his falls and sports. Often in addition to the TBI there is a genetic predisposition to depression and/or anxiety. Brain mapping will isolate the neurological conditions associated with the symptoms. TBI and genetic predispositions can be markedly improved with neurotherapy. However, the first step is to do a brain assessment to determine the exact location and extent of the neurological condition. |
