The
Complete
Guide
for
Families
Living
with
Traumatic
Brain
Injury
John
W.
Cassidy,
MD
(With
an
Introduction
by
Lee
Woodruff,
coauthor
of
In an
Instant:
A
Family’s
Journey
of
Love
and
Healing)
For
anyone
whose
loved
one
has
experienced
a
traumatic
brain
injury
(TBI),
you
know
that
it is
a
life-changing
event.
It
may
feel
as if
your
world
has
shifted
on
its
axis,
and
you’ll
never
get
your
bearings.
Navigating
your
way
through
the
morass
of
doctors,
medical
terms,
and
the
healthcare
system
can
be
daunting,
especially
when
you
want
only
what’s
best
for
your
loved
one.
Dr.
John
Cassidy
has
devoted
the
past
twenty-five
years
to
helping
families
cope
with
traumatic
brain
injury;
Mindstorms
is
his
compassionate,
comprehensive
manual
to
demystifying
this
often
frightening
condition.
More
than
6.3
million
Americans
live
with
a
severe
disability
caused
by a
traumatic
brain
injury.
In
fact,
it’s
so
commonplace,
but
little
talked
of,
that
TBI
is
often
referred
to as
the
“silent
epidemic.”
In
these
pages,
Dr.
Cassidy
walks
you
through
the
different
types
of
brain
injury;
the
common
myths
surrounding
it;
the
ways
in
which
TBI
may
affect
memory,
behavior,
and
social
interaction;
what
the
newest
options
are
in
treatment
and
rehabilitation;
and
how
to
hold
onto
your
own
sense
of
self
as
you
journey
through.
Along
with
the
practical
information
you’ll
need,
Mindstorms
offers
a
constellation
of
stories
from
families
and
patients
who
are
slowly
but
surely
finding
their
way
back.
May
their
stories
inspire
you
and
yours.
John
W.
Cassidy,

and

Medical
School
professor,

found
the
traumatic
brain
injury
program
at

McLean
Hospital.
He is
currently

Praise
for
Mindstorms:
“One
of
the
greatest
gifts
a
loved
one
can
be
handed
in
the
midst
of a
storm
is a
life
raft.
This
book
is
that
raft.”—Lee
Woodruff
