A traumatic brain injury is an injury to the brain that results from a sudden blow, jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury. TBIs can range in severity from mild to severe, and they may lead to various cognitive, physical, emotional, and behavioural consequences.
Damage to the brain can impact upon physical processes which take place in the body, and can lead to problems with mobility, fatigue and speech impairment.
It is also common for someone with a brain injury to experience a change in their personality and suffer with mood swings as well as symptoms such as depression and anxiety.
