A brain injury is not always apparent! You can have a very serious traumatic brain injury from a fall or car accident, even if there’s no direct blow to your head. A brain can be injured just by a sudden start or stopping—like in a car accident or from a fall.
I have seen people ignore the symptoms of a brain injury—even when their own families know there is something wrong.
Get the help you need. You do not have struggle with the symptoms of a brain injury alone!
Doctors can estimate what part of the brain is injured by diagnosing which function is affected or harmed.
