Abstract

This article explores the question of why so many patients with trauma/damage to the brain/mind---including TBI, strokes, seizures, infections, brain illnesses and diseases, major mental health problems and PTSD---are too often not getting better. And……is this actually a worldwide epidemic, because damage/trauma to the brain/mind is not understand as creating a cascading neurodegenerative progression in the brain. Not understanding that this neurodegenerative process is destructive to the entire brain/mind leading to a wide range of symptoms (physical, cognitive decline, social and emotional problems and sleep disturbances) robbing a person of a normal life. Two cases are presented illustrating this problem. And research is presented demonstrating that neuroscience understands the long-term, chronic effects of these injuries, illnesses and diseases. Finally, one answer to the question of why this readily available information and understanding is not being utilized very well at this time is presented.
