What is Brain Injury?

Brain injury can be a devastating disability, and given the brain’s complexity and the differences in the types, locations, and extent of damage, the effects of a brain injury can be wide and varied. Some occur immediately, and some may take days or even years to appear.

The most common after effects of undiagnosed concussion and head trauma are memory issues, drug and alcohol dependency, anger outbursts family violence,road rage and criminality. Any one of the symptoms can alter or devastate a person’s life, and brain injury is made all the more difficult by the fact that it’s often hard to see and just as often misdiagnosed or dismissed as “personality problems” or a perceived mental disorder. But in fact, it is a serious and legitimate illness where sufferers deserve all the help and support they can get.

The Human Brain

The human brain in an incredible thing! It’s one of the most complex and least understood parts of the human body, but science is making new advances every day that tell us more about the brain.

The average human brain is 5.5 inches wide and 3.6 inches high. When we’re born, our brains weigh about 2 pounds, while the adult brain weighs about 3 pounds.

The brain accounts for about 2% of your total body weight, but it uses 20% of your body’s energy!

It sends out more electrical impulses in one day than all the telephones in the world, and it’s estimated that the brain thinks about 70,000 thoughts in a 24-hour period.

Concussion injury timelines

 Six Weeks – Three Months for individuals to Experience Onset of Traumatic brain injury (TBI)

Janurary 21,2016

Media release

By Christian King B Soc Sci

Concussion is a result of a bump or a blow to the head, that occurs instantaneously.

However the signs and symptoms can be subtle and may take a little time to become noticeable.

Onset of symptoms may take days, weeks or occasionally a year or more after the initial injury. Symptoms of injury are most probably of physical nature, whereas psychological symptoms appear after weeks or may be manifested after few initial months.

Headache is the first symptom that commonly occurs after few hours of the mild traumatic brain injury. Similarly, nausea and drowsiness are the symptoms that become apparent within one to two weeks after injury. These symptoms, depending on the nature of the injury, may be long lasting or perhaps vanishes with the passage of time.

Psychological symptoms are not instantly reported after injury. Possibly, loss of consciousness, memory, judgment, reasoning and attention may be evident with time. I can take six weeks to three months to become visible. Memory problems are the most long lasting problems and may take years to completely recover from. Irritability, sleep disturbances, poor appetite, mood swings, psychological adjustment problem and disorders of taste and smell are the post concussive symptoms that have usually delayed onset.

For most people, missed and under medical diagnosis of subtle and mild concussion, brain injuries are life changing for the worst and nost never recover fully.
