What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?
Traumatic brain injuries occur when a sudden trauma damages the brain. The damages suffered vary, based on the severity of the type of injury, ranging from mild to severe. Unlike other injuries, a traumatic brain injury can alter a person indefinitely. As the brain defines your personality, an injury to this vital organ can alter your personality and mental abilities. No two traumatic brain injuries are the same; each affects a person differently and will produce differing symptoms. In severe cases, traumatic brain injury may result in death.
