While many youths recover from concussions within several weeks, a subset of patients experience persistent postconcussive symptoms (PPCS), lasting 4 weeks or longer.

Sexual minority men seek out mental health treatment at approximately twice the rate of the general population, with minority stress being the most likely explanation for this population’s heightened mental and behavioral health concerns and associated treatment seeking.
