Many ask questions. Rohr tries to answer the question the best she can. And when the brain is injured, it can no longer process those chemicals like it did before, and that creates a whole multitude of feelings. I don't have a head injury, but sometimes I get depressed. Everyone, at times, has depression.
Family members feel that anguish as well, and they make up a large portion of the support group.
They have to deal with insurance cap outs, waiting lists, does Medicare or Medicaid cover this. It's too much for one individual to try to cope with. That is why I have advocated so long for this support group to start. They need each other and the community to get through this. The Traumatic Brain Injury Support Group meets the second Monday of each month, September through May, in room 148 of Wooster High School at 7 p.m.
