Suggest Treatment For Memory Loss , Headache And Acute Stress Disorder

Is it possible that a head trauma to my eyebrow during a rear end collision that totaled my car could cause an ethmoid cyst to be diagnosed some months later, after experiencing constant headaches, emotional instability, memory lapses and a diagnosis of Acute Stress Disorder?

Hi.

I understand your concern.

Psychological stress and pathological emotions are common in acute traumatic brain injury.

Anxiety and depression are common psychological illness associated with brain injury.

Psychological support can help.

Psychological and behaviour therapy can be useful.

Mild dose of antidepressant and anxiolytic medicine like escitalopram / sertraline / etizolam can be useful.

It will resolve slowly with time.
Start your routine activities and keep busy your self for better psychological health.

Consult psychiatrist for better evaluation and assistance.

Thank you.
Get well soon.

I went through your details. In my opinion, you are thinking too much and too far front. Anything may happen in the future and nobody can predict. The given things could happen even if you did not have an accident with your car. Understanding such a scenario / uncertain life is wisdom. You need to introspect and analyze your memory loss , headache and acute stress disorder. Memory loss could just be due to your anxiety and busy life style.
