Recovery: from TBI can take a while. Generally speaking we allow 1 year for 90 percent of recovery then often see another 10 percent improvement in the second year. Episodic confusion should be looked into (EEG and neurological consultation) Dizziness with rapid head turns is not uncommon 9 months after a closed head injury.

See a neurologist: Rest is the primary treatment for acute concussion Symptoms that have lasted now 9 months can be due to multiple different causes, including cervical spine injury, migraine headaches, inner ear/vestibular dysfunction, chronic pain & several other causes. It is very important to see a neurologist who can evaluate your symptoms, order appropriate imaging studies like MRI brain &neuropsych testing.

Unfortunate: It sounds like you have post concussive syndrome. Unfortunately people with moderate to severe concussions can have ongoing problems like you describe. I would recommend seeing a neurologist who does a lot of work with traumatic brain injuries. They would be able to get you set up with appropriate physical therapy and possibly medications to help relieve your symptoms.

Post Concussion: This is likely post concussion syndrome. After a head injury the vast majority of people will clear up n 2 to 4 weeks. However, there are some who can have symptoms for months or even a year after the accident. I recommend you see your doctor or a neurologist.

Don't assume: I wouldn't assume it is anxiety, even with a prior history. Could be related to a persistent post concussive syndrome, mild TBI. Hopefully you have a good neurologist and psychiatrist who talk with each other and you are getting appropriate care.

Concussion: We are just learning about the extent of head injuries as demonstrated by the new studies on football players. Closed head injury and whiplash type injuries often take years to resolve. Dizziness and neck pain are symptoms of an unresolved injury. I suggest you consult a neurologist and also a physical therapist to help you recover. There are specific interventions for dizziness that work.
