Frequently Asked Questions About Brain Injuries
What is a mild traumatic brain injury?
A traumatic brain injury is defined as any physical injury to the brain that disrupts normal functioning. Traumatic brain injuries are categorized into three levels: mild, moderate, and severe. About 70-90% of traumatic brain injuries are classified as “mild”.
The disruption of normal functioning seen in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) cases can include:
- Any period of lost consciousness
- Any loss of memory for events immediately before or after the accident
- Any alteration in mental state (e.g. disorientation, confusion, dizziness, etc.)
An mTBI is serious and can result in lasting symptoms if not treated.
Isn’t a mild traumatic brain injury just a concussion?
A mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is often referred to as a “concussion.” Unfortunately, the significance of concussions tends to be minimized as people do not realize that a concussion is a traumatic brain injury. Any disruption of brain functioning or injury to the brain must be taken seriously.
A concussion is an injury that can have lasting effects on the injured person’s life. In most cases, people recover from mild traumatic brain injuries without difficulty. However, if symptoms persist or become worse, it can mean the mTBI will become a long-term challenge.
What are the symptoms of a mild traumatic brain injury?
A mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) affects each person differently. The combination and severity of effects will vary depending on the areas of the brain involved and the individual person.
Symptoms can fall into three main categories:
- Physical – e.g. headache, ringing of ears, dizziness, insomnia, fatigue, blurred vision, etc.
- Cognitive – e.g. difficulty with attention, concentration, memory, information processing, reasoning, planning, etc.
- Emotional – e.g. irritability, mood swings, depression, anxiety, etc.
