Episode Description
In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with William Person, former Team USA Bobsledder and CTE advocate about chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). William defines for listeners what CTE is and what he feels is missing from the definition given his work with people who have experienced CTE symptoms. William discusses his personal journey with CTE symptoms from years of bobsledding and the subsequent consequences of these symptoms. He discusses the progression of CTE and some of the devastating consequences of such, especially for individuals who do not get treatment. William discusses what Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is and how it has helped his CTE symptoms. William shares what he believes needs to be done to both decrease the likelihood of individuals developing CTE and increasing access to supports after multiple brain injuries and discusses his Go Fund Fund me and mission to open a CTE Recovery Center. We end the episode with William sharing words of advice and encouragement for anyone who may be experiencing CTE symptoms.
