Yes and new trauma brings back old ones. Stuff I dealt with many times over and was done with came flying back to the surface. I have a major difficulty with anger, irritability and frustration.
I had a very bad tbi and my ptsd now gets triggered almost everytime I have to drive on the interstate. the accident was caused by someone else being an idiot and there was nothing I could do to avoid the accident so now my heart rate and anxiety go through the roof any time I drive on the interstate. you know how hard it is living in the city and not taking the interstate? people wonder why I get nervoous driving on the interstate and just assume I can't drive well.
Because it isn't amnesia. Amnesia, the way I look at it, is the loss of a block or blocks of information. Brain injury is more of the loss of attention, of the ability to automatically focus long enough to put an immediate memory into one's short-term memory.
Sadly, the medal community and certainly the judicial system don't recognise that a person is scared and trying to survive the only way they can at the moment.
Intentional inflicting of brain injury is the worst to deal with

Why cant you say amnesia?
