ask: POST CONCUSSION
My son fell off the monkey bars at school on to his head almost 3 years ago and has NOT been the same since. He is now 8.
His learning, anxiety and depression issues have all worsened since this time???
He just has not been the same since? What are the statistics or if you have anything I can reference to to see if this can be from his fall??
Thanks for listening

What a horrific experience. I don't know what statistics you are looking for.
Do you take your son to the pediatrician for regular checkups? Have you discussed your concerns and noted changes in your son's behavior with the doctor? What does he or she have to say?
Has it been recommended that your son be treated by a neurologist?
Have any follow-up diagnostic imaging scans been done, such as an MRI, to access any residual damage from the accident?
