Traumatic Brain Injuries
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 1.4 million people suffer brain injuries in the United States each year. Traumatic brain injury is responsible for a substantial number of permanent disability cases. The CDC estimates that at least 5.3 million Americans suffer from long-term care needs as a result of traumatic brain injury.
Brain injuries are generally classified into three categories: mild, moderate, or severe. Victims of so-called “mild” brain injuries typically suffer a period of lost consciousness, confusion, or disorientation shorter than 30 minutes. A majority of brain injuries are concussions or other forms of these mild brain injuries. Moderate or severe brain injury victims experience longer periods of unconsciousness or memory loss. Severe brain injuries range from impaired cognitive functions to comatose states.

Causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries
A traumatic brain injury is often caused by a blow to the head or a penetrating injury that causes a disruption to the normal function of the brain. The leading cause of traumatic brain injury for adolescents and adults is motor vehicle accidents. Males between ages 15 and 24 are most susceptible to brain injuries due to their high-risk lifestyles. Children under age four and people over age 75 are susceptible to brain injuries as a result of slip and fall accidents. Other common causes of traumatic brain injury include physical assault, athletic injuries, shaken-baby syndrome, and accidents at home, work, or outdoors.
Consequences of Traumatic Brain Injury
- Cognitive: Short- or long-term memory loss; spatial disorientation; difficulty concentrating, communicating, or planning.
- Psychological/Behavioral: Anxiety; depression; mood swings; agitation; impulsivity.
- Physical: Seizures; headaches; speech impairment; partial or complete paralysis of the body; vision, hearing, smell, or taste loss.
