A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a disruption in normal brain function caused by a blow, jolt, or penetrating head injury. TBIs can range from mild (concussion) to severe, and they can result in a wide range of physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral symptoms.

Common causes of traumatic brain injuries include falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, and assaults. The symptoms of a TBI can vary depending on the severity and location of the injury but may include:

- Headaches
- Confusion or disorientation
- Memory problems
- Dizziness or balance issues
- Sensory changes (vision or hearing problems)
- Mood swings or emotional disturbances
- Difficulty concentrating or processing information

Treatment for traumatic brain injuries often involves a multidisciplinary approach, including medical management, rehabilitation therapies, and cognitive-behavioral interventions. Telehealth services can play a vital role in providing remote access to rehab specialists, and guide around support services for individuals with TBIs and their families. If you or a loved one has experienced a traumatic brain injury, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Remember, early intervention and ongoing support are essential in maximizing recovery and improving outcomes for individuals with TBIs.
