A traumatic brain injury is one that is caused by a blow or other “trauma” to the head forceful enough to cause a temporary orpermanent disruption in brain function. Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can be mild or severe. Often, the trauma is minor, but the injury quite severe! Symptoms range from a headache or a mild concussion to seizure disorders, coma and death. Falls are the leading cause of traumatic brain injury, followed by motor vehicle crashes, being struck by an object or striking the head against something, and, finally, assaults.
According to information on the Family Caregiver Alliance web site:
An estimated 5.3 million Americans are living today with a disability related to a traumatic brain injury. If you have suffered a traumatic brain injury — even a mild one — you may no longer be able to do the work you once enjoyed. TBIs can affect your memory and cause emotional upset, confusion and difficulty with even simple cognitive activities that you once took for granted.
