    my partner had a mild traumatic brain injury(concussion) over 3 years ago and has never been the same since,i did not realise at the time why he was different.(I knew he got a bang to the head,but did not realise the consequences).he only told me after months the daily problems he was having with slowed thinking/no emotions and memory problems,because he was embarrassed and hoped it would improve.the headaches are always there,the medication he is on only helps abit with them.
    he also developed ptsd.

    is there anything that can be done help improve memory/concentration?
    is this him left like this for life?

    A doctor in the US specializes in hormonal treatment in relation to TBI.
    They may sound unrelated but, hormonal imbalance can result from it, and it's treatment can incite symptom relief/remission.
    Research Mark Gordon endocrinologist.
    I've read he corresponds with people overseas.
