A Brain Injury is a Life-Altering Experience for TBI Survivors and Their Families. In Addition, the Medical Costs to Treat This are Extremely Steep.
Each year, millions of people in the US sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and many may not even know it. Brain injury is often called a hidden disability, because it affects people in ways that are invisible. Many of its characteristics are hard to point out, even through extensive diagnostic testing.
In San Diego, people with brain injuries are not uncommon and may result in deadly consequences if they do not get the proper medical attention.
Most Common Causes of Brain Injuries
- Falls (35%)
- Motor vehicle traffic rashes (17%)
- "Struck by/against" events (17%)
- Assaults (10%)
The Brain Injury Association of America explains that brain injury may affect:
- The way a person things, acts, and feels in a matter of seconds
- The body's internal function (regulating body temperature, blood pressure, bowels, bladder control)
- Behavior, resulting in mood swings, inability to concentrate, and severe depression
A brain injury can happen in a matter of seconds and may last a lifetime. If left untreated and diagnosed, it can lead to serious problems. In fact, the suicide rate among people with TBI is increased two to three times.
