A member asked:
My cousin used to slap my head daily for nearly 5 years when we were in our early teens. it wasn't anything that would cause me pain or a concussion, just more of a weird game they would play. bizzare i know, but can this lead to brain damage or cte?

If you had no pain or concussion there would be no long term residual damage, to anything beyond your self image.
