Healing the Traumatized Brain
Coping after Concussion and Other Brain Injuries
The essential guide to recovering from concussion and other brain injuries.
Recovering from a brain injury can be a challenging and prolonged process. Learn how to maximize your recovery from the effects of brain injuries with the guidance of Sandeep Vaishnavi, MD, PhD, and Vani Rao, MBBS, MD, two leading medical experts with extensive experience helping patients recover from concussion and other brain injuries. Healing the Traumatized Brain explains how the brain works, how injuries affect the brain, and how to use your brain's own power to recover.
This detailed guide contains essential information on:
• The emotional, behavioral, mental, and physical effects following concussion and other brain injuries
• Medication options and lifestyle changes
• Practical strategies for healing, including stress management, behavioral therapy, and cognitive rehabilitation
• Neuroplasticity and nutrition as they affect recovery
• Behavioral disorders, balance disorders, and hormonal changes following concussion and other brain injuries
• The effects of coexisting factors such as other medical problems, recreational drug use, the misuse of prescribed medications, and poor sleep hygiene
• The science associated with repeated brain trauma and promising therapies on the horizon
Building on the work of Vaishnavi and Rao's best-selling book The Traumatized Brain, this guide is filled with practical information and tips for coping with concussion, injury from a stroke, and other brain injuries.

Endorsements
"Drs. Vaishnavi and Rao offer a clearly written primer for patients with traumatic brain injury and their caregivers. By demystifying concepts from neuropsychiatry and cognitive neurology and by recommending practical advice, they give agency to people whose lives have been deeply disrupted by their neurological conditions."
"This book will be a great resource to both clinicians and families. It takes a deeper look into the challenges that a person with a brain injury and their family might encounter as they work to recover after a brain injury."
"In Healing the Traumatized Brain, Drs. Vaishnavi and Rao provide a kind, caring approach with keen knowledge of neuropsychiatry. Patients, caregivers, and providers will benefit from their insights and experience. This book is a great resource for my neurology patients and their loved ones."
"Vaishnavi and Rao's book reminds the reader, 'You are not alone. There is hope. There is a way forward.' Healing the Traumatized Brain provides explanations, explorations, and simple steps in layman's terms to not only survive the journey to recovery but to thrive. This book is a must-have for anyone affected by a brain injury."
"Drs. Vaishnavi and Rao have demonstrated the importance of the neuropsychiatric perspective in taking care of our patients who have sustained a traumatic brain injury and experience emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and physical challenges. Patients and their significant others will find this book valuable and practical."
"Drs. Vaishnavi and Rao's book is a treat for both the layperson and professional. Besides its thoroughness of scope, clarity of prose, and respect for both the science and art of medicine, this book considers the needs of all key people: the patient, the caregiver, the clinician, and even the researcher, who should consult the 'real world' for setting priorities. In an ill-understood, underserved field, this book is also great instrument for patient advocacy. I will wholeheartedly recommend it to my students and residents, but also to patients and their families."
