Healing the Traumatized Brain

I would recommend [Healing the Traumatized Brain] to patients and their loved ones who have the time and interest in learning more about brain injury. I highlight the resources section at the end because after acute treatment for traumatic brain injury there is a gap between discharge and reintegrating into life. I hope that going forward there will be more books like this to make understanding brain injury accessible

Drs. Vaishnavi and Rao offer a clearly written primer for patients with traumatic brain injury and their caregivers. By demystifying concepts from neuropsychiatry and cognitive neurology and by recommending practical advice, they give agency to people whose lives have been deeply disrupted by their neurological conditions.

This book will be a great resource to both clinicians and families. It takes a deeper look into the challenges that a person with a brain injury and their family might encounter as they work to recover after a brain injury.

In Healing the Traumatized Brain, Drs. Vaishnavi and Rao provide a kind, caring approach with keen knowledge of neuropsychiatry. Patients, caregivers, and providers will benefit from their insights and experience. This book is a great resource for my neurology patients and their loved ones.

Vaishnavi and Rao's book reminds the reader, 'You are not alone. There is hope. There is a way forward.' Healing the Traumatized Brain provides explanations, explorations, and simple steps in layman's terms to not only survive the journey to recovery but to thrive. This book is a must-have for anyone affected by a brain injury.
