Commonly asked questions

No, not everyone who sustains a concussion will develop Post-Concussion Syndrome. While most individuals recover within a few weeks, a smaller percentage experience lingering symptoms that persist for months or longer.

Risk factors include having a history of previous concussions, mental health conditions like anxiety or depression, and high-stress levels at the time of injury. Younger age, female sex, and lack of proper rest after the injury can also increase the likelihood of developing postconcussive symptoms.

Treatment is typically personalized and may involve a combination of rest, cognitive therapy, medication for symptoms like headaches or depression, and gradual return to normal activities. A multidisciplinary approach involving neurology, psychology, and physical therapy is often recommended for effective recovery.
