Traumatic Brain Injuries Have Long-Lasting Effects
While the most common cause of a traumatic brain injury is a blow to the head, this serious injury can also arise in a variety of ways. You can suffer traumatic brain injury without actually hitting an object. This injury may be the result of internal damage including: A lack of oxygen or blood flow to your brain
- Poisoning
- Tumor
- Infection
- Violent tremors (such as "shaken baby syndrome")
In the United States, more than 1.4 million people suffer a traumatic brain injury every year. This severe injury can significantly affect your mental, physical and psychological well-being. There are often serious long-term effects such as changes in personality, memory loss, personality changes, difficulty with mobility and participation in daily activities. A traumatic brain injury also affects the people around you in terms of family upheaval, loss of wages and the inability to earn future wages, and the soaring cost of medical care.
