What is CTE?

CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta explains the causes and symptoms of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, more commonly known as CTE.

[@ianward7736]

This is actually super frightening to think about. Your brain generates your consciousness and let’s you experience the universe. Imagine working your whole life perfecting your game only to find out that it’s slowly killing your brain.

[@jasonhgtran]

Well put!

[@onthevergeofvani11a21]

not correct. The Brain is not consciousness, science doesn't understand this. Your brain is the hardware that allows consciousness to express and explore our reality, a control center. How is it that people have severe brain damage, experience near fatal near death experience and their consciousness had never changed.. Ei: Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife by Alexander E. Twas minutes away from declared dead and divine intervention brought him back. His brain was declared dead. the whole time in the coma he was experiencing a world of reality of love and peace. Gods realm of peace and love. . He was able to make a full recover and they don't know how his came back to life with no damage over time. Granted it the brain is permanently damaged iin many ways, this hinders and limits the consciousness in this reality

[@decoture9978]

CTE is caused by hundreds and thousands of sub-concussive hits.. atleast that’s what researchers think right now. That’s why it’s commonly in football players. They get thousands of head hits in their years..

[@eddievenuto1862]

It's like getting hit in the head over and over for 10 years. Eventually your brain develops you get anxiety you get nervousness you get social problems you don't want to be around people you become angry. A lot of people that I knew killed themselves because they wanted out of this hard life that they were in. They wanted to face their maker and they wanted to go to a better place a better after life because their life was too hard to deal with. All those guys that had CTE that I'm new or heard of they all committed suicide. I know I would think that I know that most of those guys that committed suicide that had CTE they were tormented with the CTE

Depends on a lot of factors. If you faced two concussions within a short time before your brain recovered from the previous one, then it might pose a risk. But overall I don't think 5 mild ones would cause CTE.

Benny D I had post concussion syndrome I got 4 concussions in a year and I've been having concussion like symptoms for 2 years after I quit I am really suicide now my brain I feel wants to make me kill myself it's like a second voice in my head telling me to die like when I am driving I'll just get thoughts in the back of my mind telling me to crash my car sometimes or when I am on the 10th floor of a building I get thoughts wondering if I should jump out the window and see if it kills me it's not all the time but over the last two years it's been increasingly more often it's not so much as a physical pain anymore it's more emotional it makes life hard to life

[@user-tl2cs6wv8b]

+SuicidalLemur7 Man, I'm really sorry to hear that:-( Your story scared me! Back in 2014, I fell head first onto the pavement of a sidewalk and I went to the hospital got stitches (lost a lot of blood) and had a headache for at least 2 weeks. I never had a concussion before that in my life! What are my chances of having brain damage later on in life? I'm 28 years old! Again, I hope you get through your pain man, at least it's not physical! Stay strong bro!

[@Bigfoothunterx]

Benny D you don't have to worry about anything bro if you only hit your head like once or twice there's no reason to even think about it I've looked into a lot of research and stuff and it's from repetitively hitting your head if you don't have headaches from when you fell then you shouldn't worry about it you'll be fine
