The Dangers of a TBI

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when a jolt, blow, or penetration to the head causes an injury to the brain and affects over 1.7 million Americans every year. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), a TBI is known as a “silent epidemic” because TBIs and their complications aren’t always easy to notice and address.

A TBI can cause a range of short or long-term changes in the brain, depending on the nature of the accident and factors including where the head was struck and how much force was applied.

TBIs are extremely dangerous in that they can affect functional abilities including:

• Language, including communication and understanding
• Emotion, which can result in depression, anxiety, aggression, and personality changes
• Sensation, such as sight and the ability to balance
• Thinking, including memory and reasoning

TBIs can also cause epilepsy and increase the risk in individuals for one day developing brain disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. They can also result in comas or the need or medically induced comas, and in some cases cause victims to lapse into a vegetative, or brain-dead, state.
