March is Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Awareness Month, dedicated to raising awareness and providing support to those affected by TBI.
According to the CDC, TBI is a leading cause of disability and death and disability in children and adults, with approximately 2.8 million TBI-related emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and deaths in the US each year. People often experience multiple symptoms including but not limited to: decreased concentration and attention span, reduced thinking speed, increased forgetfulness, sensory sensitivities, lost sense of self, increased depression and anxiety, and increased irritability.
Managing a TBI requires a personalized approach as every TBI is unique and requires tailored treatments to address the individual’s specific symptoms and needs.
Since March was TBI Awareness Month, we decided to create a simple guide that is useful to share with friends and family.
