Athletes and Suicide: Head trauma causes pot-concussion syndrom

Submitted by Ted Johnson on Sat, 2006-05-27 14:01.

If you know anything about post-concussion syndrome or second impact syndrom (SIS) then you have the answer to your question.  Being a recently retired 10 year NFL Linebacker I finally, after 8 months of retirment, now know why I had had been having headaches, irritability, social anxiety, and major depression.  For my last 3 years with the Patriots I was experiencing what I called "mini concussions".  I now know those mini concussions have largely been the reason I haven't been able to get out of bed for weeks at a time, have lost contact with my closest friends and have struggled to maintain my relationship with my wife of 3 years.  Kyle had 9 consussions when he started showing changes in his personality.  My suggestion is start educating yourself on PCS and SIS and you will have your answers and be amazed.  Ted Johnson (10 year Linebacker New England Patriots 1995-2004).
