Brain injuries can happen suddenly and change lives forever. They can result from vehicle accidents, falls, sports injuries, or other traumatic events. Types of brain injuries include:
- Concussions: Often considered mild but they can have serious, long-term effects, including headaches, memory problems, difficulty concentrating., and mood changes like depression and irritability.
- Contusions: A bruising of the brain tissue that can lead to seizures, cognitive impairments, coordination and motor function impairments, and emotional and behavioral changes.
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Can range from mild to severe, causing symptoms like headaches, confusion, memory loss, and more.
- Anoxic Brain Injury: Occurs when the brain doesn’t get enough oxygen, potentially leading to permanent damage. Symptoms can include difficulty speaking, memory loss, coordination problems, severe headaches, confusion and disorientation, weakness or paralysis, and loss of consciousness.
These injuries can have catastrophic effects, impacting memory, movement, thinking, and even personality. They can lead to a lifetime of expensive medical care and changes in the ability to work and enjoy life.
