We need to be in a position to develop new strategies for the development of regeneration-promoting therapeutics which will help to overcome the silent epidemic of TBI.
Should therapeutics include pharma only? Or should other approaches also be considered? Pharma implies you'll need insurance coverage, which can be difficult enough to navigate w/ TBI. Based on what I've seen and experienced, the benefits of drug therapies may be enjoyed by a select few, while others who are unable to access them for one reason or another, will continue to struggle in the dark. Alone. Ongoing research is taking place, I believe, with regard to mindfulness and meditation training. And it's picking up speed in more circles than TBI alone, which is encouraging. The costs associated (after initial training) are more effort-based, rather than $$$. Which certainly helps.
