Book Reviews of Coping with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Book Review: Well organized, comprehensive, informative, and motivating
Summary: 5 Stars
Like many, I knew nothing about MTBI or its effects until I suffered a concussion a month ago. My doctor was helpful and properly diagnosed the condition but frankly his style was terse, to the point, and directed only at the largest symptoms I've experienced. A half hour consultation is not sufficient to explore each of the dozen symptoms I experienced.
This book was a godsend for me. The authors first provide an overview of the brain, it's various regions, and how they can be impacted by different types of impacts. Then they explore each of the many symptoms that may surface - organized by physical, mental, and emotional categories - with each symptom having its own chapter. I found this to be very helpful - I could easily skip over chapters that were not applicable to my condition.
Each chapter offers a brief case study, which I found very helpful in feeling connected to others with a similar condition (when you have MTBI it is easy to feel that others simply do not and can not understand what you are going through). For each aspect, the authors explain how this aspect is diagnosed, the treatment options available, and practical action oriented steps the reader can take to mitigate or improve their condition.
Stoler and Hill have helped me to understand the whole of my current condition, and have given me the information and encouragement I need to make progress day by day. I thank them.
