What Can I Expect After a Colorado Traumatic Brain Injury?
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) may have lingering effects that last for months, years, or even the rest of an injured person’s life.
The long-term consequences of a TBI depend on the severity of the injury and what part of the brain was injured, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Some of the more common long-term symptoms suffered by TBI patients include:
- Problems with thinking, including memory and concentration;
- Issues with sensation, like experiencing garbled or confusing touch, taste, and smell sensations;
- Difficulty with language, including communication, expressing thoughts or feelings, and understanding written or spoken messages from others; and
- Problems with emotions, such as irritability, depression, anxiety, or personality changes.
