The financial stress after concussion creates more damage than the injury itself. When you can't work full-time, can't process information like you used to, and watch your family struggle while you sit helpless, the emotional toll becomes devastating. Research shows that family relationships suffer dramatically after brain injury, with financial pressures creating anxiety and depression that compound neurological symptoms.
Traditional concussion treatment focuses on physical symptoms while ignoring the cognitive processing problems that make employment impossible. This leaves families trapped in financial crisis with no timeline for recovery.
