A traumatic brain injury can have a serious impact on your well-being, which is why it’s important to be able to recognize the signs of a TBI.

Mild TBI

A mild TBI is the most common type of a brain injury. This is akin to a light concussion – considering that this type of TBI is not severe, it can sometimes go unnoticed for far too long. Some common symptoms include a headache, fatigue of any kind, memory loss, dizziness, loss of balance, or some type of emotional disturbance that is abnormal for you.

Severe TBI

When, on the other hand, it comes to a severe TBI, this is a bit different. Moderate to severe characteristics of a traumatic brain injury is more serious and can vary more widely. Symptoms can include (but are not limited to): serious speech and language issues, cognitive deficits, different physical or emotional changes, differences in social behavior and interaction, and any type of sensory difficulties.

If you notice a change in your physical, mental, or emotional state after an injury, it’s important to take care of this right away. See a doctor at your earliest convenience to ensure that you get the help you need and deserve. TBIs should be treated right away!
