Traumatic Brain Injuries Are Among The Most Complex Neurological Conditions

A traumatic brain injury is a complex injury with a wide spectrum of disabilities and symptoms. A brain injury is vastly different from a broken bone or a bruised rib, and must be treated with special care. Traumatic brain injuries do not heal like other injuries, and no two brain injuries are alike. One of the most problematic aspects of brain injuries is that the person does not often realize that the injury has occurred, and symptoms may not be present for days or weeks after the injury happened. Traumatic brain injuries can be mild or severe, mild symptoms usually lasting under 30 minutes with some disorientation or loss of consciousness, while severe injuries are associated with loss of consciousness for longer than 30 minutes, and memory loss after the injury lasting longer than 24 hours. Traumatic brain injuries, whether mild or severe, can have lasting impacts on the individuals affected.
