[QUOTE="gtchem05, post: 985696, member: 4592"] I played rugby at Tech and managed to sustain only one concussion, but it's pretty weird having no memory of the actual injury or about half the game that, per reports from others, I continued to play in. I will say that the big problem I have with the CTE stuff is that it's a pathological diagnosis that is often conflated or equated in the media with being a clinical diagnosis. What I mean is that while it's true that someone performing an autopsy can often identify tissue changes in the brain (e.g. CTE) associated with contact sports like boxing and football, I have still yet to see a clear correlation between playing football and actual clinical problems that should be concerning like depression and suicidality, for example. Here's a relatively large longitudinal study of high school football players that showed no correlation with adverse psychiatric outcomes: [URL]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35222232/[/URL] I like this research piece because it's not retrospective which can lead to difficulties distinguishing associations from causations.
