TBI, stroke, amenesia, dementia: World changing so fast. ChatGBT just Google it. Start a sentence and you have an essay, get a robot and create a painting. Watch this space. Brocas along with amnesia (based on my personal experience) can make conversation, especially mobile calls very difficult and can lead people to lead solitary lives and dependent. This is a really interesting piece from Singularity hub.

Mental illness: through the years I have believed that one of the most effective ways of coping with mood disorder is to strive through bibliography, Dr Google, the mentors we choose but available via youtube. One man I was drawn to and followed his quotes, at a time when anxiety consumed by being initiating depressions so intrusive, only shattered by ECT at one time. Only today, I have re-activated his name and checked out his quotations and then gone further. I am over-awed. Evidently those quotations which because of amnesia due to TBI I cannot hold in my mind. This led to many quotations being typed out over the decades as one can see from my WordPress blog. A random choice looking for some hope and youtube has opened up a doorway of consolation and curiosity. This man, William James, is a man I would ask anyone with mental health issues to become aware of and engage with, despite the fact he was born in 1842. It is my belief that people, especially children, adolescents must be watched over because of the impact of Covid-19, the fixation with ecocide and now War in Europe with a threat of the use of nuclear weapons. I encourage a journey especially for those neglected by our cinderella psychiatric/psychology services, with half the budget allocated by other countries. This becomes your personal journey. A good place to start is to listen to this gentle voice man tell the story of William James life.

“Knowledge is no load”. We read of catastrophic numbers of young people in Ireland facing mental illness. Being diagnosed bipolar with anxiety manisfesting in many ways including social anxiety disorder accentuated by traumatic brain injury, I recommend a path forward. Attending lectures 20 years ago at St. Patrick’s Foundation; lectures at Trinity College Dublin; counselling CBT, I have found bibliotherapy beneficial but now we have access to people like Dr Jordan Peterson, who is controversial, but his acumen speaks volumes.

Traumatic brain injury; stroke, poor memory, other medical conditions affecting the brain, this is a little gem for people in rehabilitation, recovery to benchmark their engagement with lifelong learning. Speech therapy after a TBI introduced techniques to assist memory. I used to watch TV and write notes, especially politics, notes in my day journal; it helped. 30 years on I have too many notebooks but the brain must be kept active; it is too easy to lean into dementia post TBI and we all have choices to make.
