Traumatic brain injury is the leading cause of disability among American young adults and children. In total, more than 1.5 million people in the United States suffer a brain injury every year. The brain is central to all body functions, so victims who suffer brain injury often face catastrophic and permanent emotional, cognitive, and physical impairments.
Effects of Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury occurs when a victim’s head is impacted or penetrated. This type of brain injury is most commonly the result of auto accidents, slip and fall accidents, and acts of violence, and consequences can be especially severe for victims. As brain function is essential to every system of the body, any type of brain injury can cause severe and life-long repercussions for victims and their loved ones. Some of the most common and devastating side effects of a brain injury include:
- Behavioral changes
- Loss of memory
- Impaired cognition, including reading, writing, and communicating
- Impaired speech, hearing, or vision
- Coma
- Paralysis
- Changes in personality
- Depression
- Loss of coordination
- Diminished sexual function
Many of the symptoms of a brain injury may be attributable to other causes or may not be immediately apparent after a traumatic event. While brain injury is not reversible, prompt attention to a brain injury may dramatically improve a patient’s outcome. If you or someone you love has suffered a head trauma and you suspect that a brain injury may have occurred, it is imperative that you seek the advice of a medical professional immediately.
