The effects of a traumatic brain injury can be extensive and impact day-to-day life. There are a number of neurological, psychological, and physical consequences. Behavior, quality of life, and physical functions are usually all affected by a TBI.
A person living with a TBI may experience trouble paying attention and focusing, feelings of “fogginess” or confusion, reduced thinking speeds, difficulties with memory, and difficulties completing complex tasks. It’s also extremely common for people living with TBIs to experience depression, anxiety, and severe personality changes.
