Anxiety is a great mimicker of concussion symptoms.

Concussion causes anxiety and anxiety can prolong concussion symptoms. The two are intricately intertwined, and it’s very difficult to separate them from one other. So in every case of concussion, anxiety and mental health should be part of the picture.

Anxiety influences and is influenced by our autonomic nervous system, which frequently becomes dysregulated in acute concussion and PCS cases. We must incorporate strategies that improve nervous system regulation. These strategies may include exercise, a healthy diet, gut hormone regulation, sleep, stress reduction, and more.
