How bad would the outcome of like 6-8 severe concussions be later in life?

I don't think there's a catch all answer for that. I'm sure it would depend on how severe the concussions were and how predisposed to things like Alzheimer's or Dementia you are already.

If anyone gives you a definitive answer they are full of crap. We just don’t know. You have increased risk but no certainty of dementia
