Thank you for this excellent article!! I have had visual hallucinations and periods where time seemed to disappear since a moderate TBI 7 years ago. A couple of years ago, a friend was present during one of the "time loss" episodes and described to me and doctor what it looked like: seizure. Through my recovery I continued to have a glass of wine or a beer with a meal and friends once in awhile, thinking it would not hurt. During the past year, my one-drink habit increased to almost daily - self-medicating. My seizure-like episodes also increased. A neuro-psychologist finally told me a month ago that even a small amount of alcohol might be triggering seizures. I immediately stopped drinking alcohol completely and have not had a seizure since.

Cpuld it be they are seeking pain/headache relief? Sorry but if I had stayed in counseling with a neruopsych...that labeled me something else.....doesn't have the skill do be the primary healthcare provider of tbi......I figured out on my own that I might need Vestibular rehab....finally an ent ordered a vestibular test...right on....dysfunction of cental origin...I also finally got a good neurologist that ordered topamax for the headaches. Oh and I got my last untreated missed injury fixed with surgery. If poly trauma existed...then these individuals may need a better medical workup and less therapy.....Firing my neuropsyches(4) was a step in the right direction each time.
