Helping People Recover From Traumatic Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries happen in many different ways. They occur as a result of a motor vehicle accident, a slip-and-fall accident, or even injuries on the job. The very nature of a traffic accident is violent and often causes a traumatic brain injury (TBI). When heavy machines that travel at high rates of speed collide with stationary objects or other moving vehicles, the results can be disastrous. The people involved in serious accidents can suffer critical injuries, such as brain injuries.

A Difficult Diagnosis To Endure

While some traumatic brain injuries may be immediately apparent, others such as concussions can be frustratingly difficult to properly diagnose and treat. Observers who are not with the affected person every day may believe he or she has recovered, when in fact, pain and other negative effects often linger well beyond the initial emergency care stage of recovery. Common long-term symptoms include:

  • Damage to cognitive functions, which can lead to a severely diminished quality of life
  • Personality changes and mood swings, which can have a detrimental effect on not only the victim but also the family and friends of the victim as well
  • Physical symptoms such as throbbing headaches of a traumatic brain injury that can linger for extended periods
  • Dizziness, irritability, forgetfulness and sensitivity to light

A host of other symptoms can keep people from living normal lives – particularly if they lose the ability to resume their job or to perform basic tasks such as driving as a result of their injuries. It can be challenging or impossible for head injury survivors to return to work even part time or to resume their prior roles in family life, with effects often lasting months or years.
