Brain Injury
‘No head
injury is too severe to despair nor too trivial to ignore’ :
Hippocrates,
c.48BC
Brain Injuries
It is estimated that over
one million people in the UK suffer a traumatic brain injury each
year. In a matter of seconds, such a catastrophic injury may
irrevocably alter the whole pattern of a person’s life causing
devastation to the individual and their families.
A traumatic brain injury
is damage caused to the brain by an external force to the head. It
may produce a unique range of problems which may be classed as
mild, moderate or severe.
Some of the problems will
be apparent to others. However, unlike physical injuries, the vast
majority of the problems suffered remain hidden and are not always
obvious to other people.
Brain Injury Symptoms
Brain injury symptoms could generally include:
- Behavioural changes or difficulties
- Problems with memory
- Poor or loss of concentration
- Problems with planning and organising
- Not able to problem solve
