51. Finding the Silver Lining in PCS with Conner Eko - Concussion & Depression
Coming to terms with a traumatic brain injury can be hard, but sometimes there’s a silver lining. Today’s guest, Conner Eko found his when his post-concussion syndrome forced him to take time out from his Ph.D. and allowed him to focus on his music (which incidentally helped with his symptoms). Conner talks us through his experiences with concussions growing up, and how the most recent one has affected him. We discuss the various techniques that he and Bella have both found the most useful in managing their symptoms and keeping the boredom at bay, and how Bella prepares to face busy environments.
We hear why taking a break is important, and how you can come to terms with shifting your timeline. Conner opens up about his struggles with mental health, and why destigmatizing it is so important in enabling people to reach out for help. Find out how treating concussion and depression worked for Conner, and what his advice regarding medication is. We look forward to you joining us today for this inspirational episode!
