Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.

Concussion is a clinical diagnosis as you might know, in absence of visible structural damage. The clinical aspect includes memory impairment even several months after the episode. Still, this should be evaluated by a psychiatrist in order to rule out any personality disorders, not related to the concussion.

Hope this helps.
