Introduction

My name is Lisa. I am the mother of a 6 year old little boy that had a bad fall at school last April. He started showing behavior changes after the fall (he is now self injurous and has extreme meltdowns) We spent the summer getting shifted from dr to dr. We were now told that he has clinical depression due to the concussion. We are still trying to process all of it and decide the best form of treatment. It is terrible watching our baby go through all of this.

Welcome Inorris,

I am so sorry you'd have to go through such pain to see your baby go through something like that (both a concussion and then depression). How are you and your family holding on with this diagnosis? How is he doing with school?

I am no stranger to depression as many here can also relate, but to a 6 year old must be so confusing to deal with, poor thing probably can't even understand his own mood swings Whatever you may need to ask/share, even if it's just to rant about a long day do not ever hesitate to reach out

Hello,

So sorry you are having to go through so much with your baby boy. It is bad. I'm sure there are great moments with him. I know it's hard to sit back and feel like your hands are tied. Must be terrible to have to deal with all that. He is just a baby.

I don't know why we suffer so much, even if it's watching our loved ones go through it, sometimes it just doesn't seem fair.

I know the TBI forum has a lot of caring people who understand what you're going through. They've been there. So many helpful people to reach out to. You have come to the right place.

Take your time and look naround.

Keep us posted, ok?



Him being six makes it a lot harder to understand. I'm

Lisa,

It is great to have you come and be with us. You will fine a great number of dear friends to listen when you are in need of ears. Please, just let us know how we can help you out. You will find out we are supportive and relaxing place.

So sad to hear what your about your boy going through this.

Please keep us up to date on his condition. Again welcome, looking forward to seeing you around. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Your post didn't say, but have you taken him to a doctor. There could be something serious going on that needs attention. A family doctor could recommend a specialist. I'm imagining a neurologist will probably be recommended.
Good luck. Hope you find a solution.
