professional athletes, it wasn't professional wrestlers, it was none of that. this was looking at folks like you and i, people that are in car accident, people that fall off ladders that happen to go to home depot or lowes like me, and people in every day life falling down the stairs and suffering a concussion. what they found was that six years later you had a three or four time increased risk of death by suicide just from a minor concussion. this is a sobering study. one that we need to take seriously and really, really think about. >> so what is the link, doctor mike? what do we think is happening to the brain that's causing this down the road? >> reporter: well, we're not really sure, but many experts look at football players, as you

autopsy when they die. they have something called chronic traumatic encephalopathy. and you look at the brain, and there's significant damage. and many believe that concussions lead to inflammation to the brain, and changes in the biochem industry in biochem in the brain. i think it has to do with a change in brain bio chemistry. >> amy: and football is not the only sport where kids are prone to to concussions. >> reporter: if you live long enough, something will happen to you. my son and daughter are playing football around the house. they're banging into furniture and themselves already. they're 7 and 4. i am very, very concerned,

concussions as my son and daughter get older and play organized sports. unfortunately, my kids picked me as their father and there's no way they're going to make it into the nhl, the nfl, or the nba. >> amy: you never know? >> reporter: their genetics just -- i failed them. so the bottom line is, they're going have to use their brains to make a living. i am more concerned about their brains. i am more concerned about them not being depressed and suffering death by suicide, god forbid. i hopefully, i won't make them end up in therapy talking about dear old day, which they probably will already. >> amy: i think you're a pretty good dad. >> reporter: love you amy.
