Does your employer help with adjustments in the workplace for your disabilities?

Yes to a degree. I forget appts screen time and file reviews so it's difficult to say what the future holds

hi, i agree with still daves point aboint meditation, it relaxes you and takes away the need for anti depressants.

Therapy and mindfulness can help with anxiety, as well as anti-anxiety meds from your g.p. if necessary.

It’s a big part of it dealing with the mental side of things after a brain injury, especially when symptoms persist.

Yes I'm on SSRIs and it has taken the edge off, I'm finding now that I have no affect tho. No more anger but no belly laughs either

Hi there. I just started on Nortrypaline which has really helped with dizziness and speech. I am still not back to work- in part because I too have memory issues and need my brain to do my job. I have been also going to speech OT and PT all of which have helped soooooo much! Good luck and I too am here with an ear to vent.
