If you live in the USA, there are national brain injury associations,
with state divisions, just do search on the Internet. Often there are
big city groups that are part of this organization and they can
provide big lists of recommended health providers/clinics.

This is where I get such good providers. Also if you are on Medicare,
or a replacement plan, something like Humana.....from a bigger
city....they have additional services for free or reduced cost for
health clubs, suppliments which helps with dealing with stress.

If you are in a dangerous situation.....bad housing, scary neighbors,
or abusive family member, then please take steps to get to a safe
place. We don't need to be hurt more than we have already.
