Causes of concussions include head trauma from accidents or sports. Risk factors include a history of concussions and inadequate protective gear.

Diagnosing a concussion involves a medical evaluation, neurological tests, and sometimes imaging. Symptoms guide the diagnosis process.

Concussion symptoms include headache, dizziness, nausea, and confusion. Immediate medical attention is essential for severe cases.

Pre-existing mental or physical conditions, such as chronic pain or learning disabilities, can impede one's ability to get an adequate amount of recovery time after a concussion.
