Good Evening, my fiance is a TBI patient. His has full use of many of all his abilities. His processes are often a little slower than others but he does well. He has impulse issues. Lately, he has had several behavior control issues and it has caused a great deal of difficulty getting him to relate and understand his actions and/or behaviors. He will say he didn t do this or that when in fact he did. He feel asleep while I was talking to him via skype. In combination of all these recent changes, the relationship is strained. How do I help?
Hi there, thanks for writing. TBI patients are a very complex population with many individual needs. Based on your concerns, it seems like your fiance's problems are less physical in nature but more related to cognitive/behavioral issues since his injury. I would recommend you reach out to his primary care doctor to help coordinate cognitive rehabilitation for him. Some rehab centers even have TBI clinics where they can specifically tailor the treatment to your fiance's specific needs. I wish you the best of luck and hope my answer was helpful to you.
