The Realities of a Brain Injury

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a form of acquired brain injury, one that happens when a sudden trauma causes damage to a person's brain. A TBI can happen when a person's head suddenly and violently hits another object, or when an object pierces a person's skull and enters their brain tissue. The symptoms of a TBI can be mild, moderate, or severe depending upon the extent of the damage to the person's brain.
