Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an injury that may be overlooked initially as it often occurs in conjunction with another more visible injury. The victim of TBI may have been in a car accident or other type of accident that caused the TBI. As many cases of TBI are the result of closed-head injuries. It may not be apparent that any damage has been done to the brain unless the doctors understand what to look for.
The effects of TBI can range from the mild to the extreme. Symptoms in a mild case may include:
- Headaches
- Difficulty thinking
- Memory problems
- Mood swings
- Inability to focus
More severe cases of TBI can result in symptoms such as:
- Emotional issues
- Difficulty speaking
- Cognitive impairment
- Difficulty in controlling movement
- Coma
