Vivid hallucination, fear, anxiety. Possiblity of injuring amygdala in car accident?
Patient: I have a few questions concerning the amygdala. 1) If I was in a car accident, is it posssible to injure your amygdala?  2) If my amygdala was slightly injured in an accident, would it be possible to have unconcious vivid hallucinations in which fear, anxiety, control, emotional trauma and loss of love were present. 3) Can an injury to the amygdala cause a person to become unconcious for a small period of time or go into a coma.  4) Can an amygdala be repaired? What are the steps involved? 5) Can a severe loss of a loved one cause a person to injure the amygdala? Thanks, Juan Doctor: Hello,welcome to Healthcare Magic.Amygdala can be damaged in car accident and do not get repaired as it contains neurons. Rather than worrying about amygdala, it is better to get your MRI brain done, which will show current situation of amygdala.From the nature of your query there is chances of having anxiety disorder in your case, which should be assessed and treated.Wish you good health and all the best.Regards,Dr Ashish Kumar Mittalwww.99doctor.com
