just a correction. Stephen Hawkins has ALS, not a brain injury. ALS is a neurodegenerative disease effecting muscles not cognition. only about 1% of those with ALS get psychological effects, mostly mood lability, some with memory issues etc. but very few percent. so hes mostly dealing with physical impairment, NOT mood like chronic or acute depression/mania/schizophrenia.
