Will one concussion cause permanent damage or lessen iq?

Depends: Concussions are not one size fits all, nor is one outcome common to all. It can vary from a simple knockout with brief loss of consciousness, but no effect on past or current memory. It could also be from a major event involving permanent brain damage.You get more specific responses from the site if you provide specific details about the issue.
