A member asked:
Increased confusion, problems with speech and word finding, is it normal 7 months after a mild tbi?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Could be.: All those are symptoms of tbi but at 7 months things should be getting better not worse. You might need a ct scan.

No: In a young person, after a mild tbi, improvement is the usual course during the 1st 6 months. Consult your physician to evaluate for sources that are impeding your progress. Additional imaging studies (ct or mri) may reveal some potential delayed sequelae of tbi such as post-traumatic/normal pressure hydrocephalus or subdural fluid collections. These are rare with mild tbi but not unknown.
