Introduction
The tiniest insult can cause brain damage in adolescents, which can hinder their recovery and make them more susceptible to future concussions. One fundamental problem with diagnosing migraines is that a definitive diagnosis is predicated on the patient’s self-reported symptoms and signs (Ströhle, 2019). There are several variables that affect a person’s symptom manifestation and recovery. These include the injury’s site, accompanying medical issues, and psychological elements. The psychological problems could have existed before the injury, or they could have developed as a result of it. A typical and expected reaction to an injury is an emotional one.
Discussion
Elite athletes who have experienced a concussion express higher anxiety and depression than those who have sustained an orthopedic injury. Elite athletes may experience a range of ailments after a concussion. It is uncertain how injuries suffered while participating in sports affect this population’s specific mental health outcomes. Sports-related concussions are the acute, frequently sudden symptoms of brain injuries caused by biomechanical forces (Ströhle, 2019). Multiple symptoms typically could exist, the majority of which would point to functioning issues rather than problems with the neuroanatomical structure. Post-concussive damage can have an impact on an individual’s physical, intellectual, and psychological well-being. As a result, medical supervision of athletes after a headache is growing in popularity.
Conclusion
A multifaceted approach should be taken to treat concussion symptoms, including counseling. These psychotherapy treatments may consist of supportive therapy, behavior therapy, guided meditation, and psychoeducation about the progression of the illness. If necessary, the medicine may also include managing psychiatric medications. Accommodations can be given at work and in educational settings if the symptoms a person is experiencing are known (Ströhle, 2019). Individuals benefit most from a team-based treatment strategy when it comes to managing and recovering from injuries.
