I observed myself displaying what I think was decerebrate posturing on video, lasting about 11 seconds. I know that this can be a sign of brain damage—are there any more medically-inclined users that might know what I can expect after this?

I feel like I have been experiencing trouble with comprehension and coordination lately.

It is not always brain damage. There are metabolic/infectious causes of this - low electrolytes, encephalitis, etc . If you are able, please seek medical attention. Regardless of the cause, it is indicative of an urgent medical issue.

Hi, thanks for replying. For context, I observed during a recording of myself hanging partially which is why I fear it is indicative of brain damage.
