Affects of Brain Injuries

According to the Centers for Disease Control, 1.4 million sustain a traumatic brain injury in the United States every year. Most of these brain injury people are treated and released from emergency rooms, perhaps unaware of the extent of their brain injuries. Over half of all brain injuries are the result of falls or motor vehicle accidents. The long-term consequences of a brain injury can be severe. Symptoms include memory loss, trouble managing stress, unstable emotions, loss of temper, and declining job skills. Brain injuries can affect everyday functions such as thinking, learning, and physical sensation. Brain injuries can also increase the risk of epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease. Young people from infancy to the age of 19 are most at risk for a brain injury. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 5.3 million Americans have a brain injury that requires long-term or life long daily living assistance.
