Hello

I hope it's okay i post here, as I'm not physically disabled, but i can't find much else.

Is there a way to get an ABI/TBI diagnosed? Would it show up on a CT/MRI? I had a history of massive SU attempts. So I'm wondering if that may have caused brain damage. I spoke to my doctor, and I got assessed for ADHD, and the psychiatrist i saw said no to ADHD. I spoke to my GP today about some other stuff, and i brought up the ADHD assessment. She said it could possibly be an ABI from my history, so I'm wondering..... what do i do with this?

I'm not super familiar with ABI, but MRI/CT is pretty standard for diagnosing brain injuries. I would say talk to your doc, but it is probably worth it.
