According to Headway, on average, every 90 seconds, someone experiences a brain injury. While some of these may be mild, 20% of people will suffer life-long, life-changing effects of brain injury.

That means that over 70,000 people every year are starting to live with the severe physical and cognitive effects of brain injury.

Here, Dr Seth Mensah, Consultant Psychiatrist, highlights the need for high-quality, dedicated services to support people with acquired brain injury and their families – services like Richardson Care.

A holistic approach to brain injury rehab with very careful use of medication is essential. The purpose of medication is not to ‘heal’ the neuro cells within the brain, it is to help the person to function as best they can within their limitations.

Someone with a brain injury may have cognitive issues, their speech may be difficult to understand, they may have sleep problems. Dr Seth Mensah, Consultant Psychiatrist at Richardson Care, explains that if you give that person psychiatric drugs it could make their symptoms worse: The drugs could numbs things, make the person slow and slurred, and affect their cognitive function, so you’re making things worse for them.

Therefore it is essential to review any medication regularly and justify absolutely why you need it. At Richardson Care, as someone engages in holistic rehabilitation, including psychological therapies, we aim to reduce their reliance on medication over time if it’s appropriate for them.
