Did you know that driving 15 miles per hour can exert 10 times as much gravity on your head and brain and cause a traumatic brain injury if you are in an accident?  What many people don’t know are the symptoms of brain injury when they are in an accident.

What are the different brain injury symptoms?

Brain injury symptoms can include emotional, cognitive, social or physical changes, depending on which part of the brain sustained injury.  Not every brain injury will incur intense pain or loss of consciousness.

Symptoms of emotional changes can include:

• change in personality
• depression
• anxiety

Symptoms of cognitive changes can include:

• lack of concentration
• mental fatigue
• inability to be organized
• problems processing information
• lack of short-term memory

Symptoms of social changes can include:

• lack of self-control
• inability to maintain relationships
• being impulsive
• irresponsibility in the workplace or at home

Understanding and accepting social changes in someone who has suffered from a brain injury can be very difficult because the person suffering will not look injured.

Symptoms of physical changes can include:

• headache
• dizziness
• changes to vision, hearing, taste and smell
• fatigue
• seizures
