While CTE may be a novel neurodegenerative disease it does have a well recorded history.
CTE is well known about and is a neurodegenerative disease which is linked to repeated head trauma. Hall mark symptoms often include changes in behaviour and behavioural problems, problems with mood swings, and problems with thinking. This disease is progressive and becomes worse over time and CTE can result in dementia.

Today we will discuss the signs and symptoms and look at in more detail the cause of CTE.
