Adam shares an email from a Marine's wife about "brain fatigue." She worries that people — including her injured husband — think he is lazy or less proactive when it's simply a physiological symptom of the TBI. Adam offers kind and sage advice.

Brain fatigue is so hard to explain to others when you look normal. My first year of recovery was a nightmare. I’ll never forget opening Christmas presents at 7.30am in the morning and then sleeping til 2.30pm that afternoon through sheer exhaustion. Five years later I’ve fainted and had an epileptic fit when I’ve attempted late night outs with close friends and family. I have to accept that I operate on a low power battery these days and rest is vital.
