3:19Now PlayingChris Nowinski, co-founder and CEO of the Concussion Legacy Foundation, joined ABC News Live to discuss the Manhattan shooting suspect’s claim of having CTE.
CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, is a brain disease linked to repeated hits to the head, often seen in military veterans and athletes including football players, hockey players and boxers. CTE can’t be diagnosed in a living person with certainty, but doctors may suspect it based on symptoms and history of head trauma. Symptoms include memory loss, mood changes, confusion and trouble thinking clearly.
