I have brain damage from getting hit by a ball, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several thots: Traumatic brain injuries spontaneously heal over 18-24 months, so things improve over time. Speech therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapies might help, and you might enhance your cognitive abilities by using meds to improve focus, such as ritalin, (methylphenidate) and cholinesterase inhibitors. These are but a few examples, your doctor can expand on interventions.
