Concussion Syndrome is
The Hidden Epidemic
(40 Min, Eng, DVD $19.95 + $5.00 shipping)
"The
Hidden Epidemic" explores a little known medical
condition called Post Concussion Syndrome (PCS). PCS is
possibly the most under-diagnosed, yet widespread condition
affecting young people today. This is because PCS masks,
or hides itself by appearing to be many other things.
Symptoms of PCS include inability to learn, abuse of drugs
and alcohol, and loss of motivation or joy in things previously
found pleasurable. PCS basically ruins lives, yet nobody
knows about it because no one is looking at the role mild
brain injury plays in negative personality changes.
In
2004 the Department of Education acknowledged that nearly
30% of high school students drop out of school. The top
four reasons that former students cite for dropping out
of school are: lost motivation, difficulty getting along
with others, the abuse of drugs and alcohol, and difficulty
learning. Interestingly, these are also symptoms of Post
Concussion Syndrome
Dr.
Daniel Amen and Dr. Joan Rosenberg are the medical authorities
who describe the nature of this condition, while pro athletes
like Matt Hasselbeck and Johnny Damon describe their experiences
with PCS. Harvard's Chris Nowinski, author of "Head
Games: Football's Concussion Crisis" tells his story,
including the death of a teammate on the field after a
second concussion. The Hidden Epidemic uses an effective
dramatization throughout its 40 minutes featuring actress
Dalenna Thomas to help tell its story. Dalenna's performance
is especially touching and realistic because she experienced
a concussion in high school and like so many others, she
became depressed which led to suicidal thoughts.
Every
day untold thousands of our young people are living with
anxiety and depression and they have no idea why theyre
that way, or how to get better. As Newsweek magazine reported,
its a hidden epidemic of underachievement,
despair and failure, failure in schools, in relationships
and in the workplace.
Are
you or someone you love depressed? Confused? Forgetful?
Are you experiencing a loss of motivation? If so, then
you need to see The Hidden Epidemic and learn what might
be going on in your brain. Learn what you can do to reclaim
your life. Order the Hidden Epidemic now!
