Writer Describes ‘Life After Your Brain Explodes’

After having suffered a ruptured cerebral aneurysm that wiped out much of his memory and left him partially blind, writer Ashok Rajamani followed the advice of neurologists, therapists and counselors, and joined a brain injury support group. But it took him nearly four years to actually attend a meeting. It was not until he became so lonely and depressed that he felt he had no choice but to go.

“Most of all, I had become painfully envious of everyone around me,” Rajamani writes. “To live in the outside world again, I needed to cope with non-brain-injured folk … They would never under­stand what had happened to me.”

Rajamani describes his experience in a new book, “The Day My Brain Exploded.” For more information, click here to read the full article.
