Hi there,Thanks for your query.From the limited information provided by you, it is apparently "Post-concussion Syndrome".All symptoms of yours are due to underlying Neurotic depression. You definitely need a long-term treatment with a combination of an anti-depressant + anti-anxiety drug, till your mental state is restored to normal state.If MRI brain had not been done after concussions, it should be done to rule out any bleeding under the covering of the brain (called subdural hematoma), which usually causes chronic depression + anxiety.Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports-  will prescribe suitable treatment as advised.In case of any further queries, revert back to me THROUGH DIRECT PREMIUM QUERY (Paid), addressed to me personally.
