Concussion can change your brain, your body, even your personality. It can change how you experience the world, and how you interact with it. It can even change who you are.

I talk about this with Chaandani Khan, a guest speaker from Canada. As she describes, her "old self" had an active life filled with travel, socialising and activities. She was enjoying her career in the events industries, before her life was completely disrupted by a car accident which left her with a concussion brain injury.

We talk about the impact of losing yourself after brain injury and how that can change your life. We touch upon the mental struggles and identity crisis that come with it.

Thank you for listening to Brain Bound the Podcast, a show that talks about the at least 30% of all concussions that develop into PCS. In future episodes, I'll be discussing relevant topics that you'll encounter during PCS recovery. I invite someone to share their own PCS story around the topic, and then sit down with an expert in the next episode to help you learn more. Please subscribe for future episodes. Consider leaving a review if you've enjoyed today's show.
