A traumatic brain injury is caused by an unexpected force to the head including, the head hitting an object, or an object piercing the skull and coming into contact with the brain. It can also be caused by the sudden slowing of the head, which causes the brain to strike the skull, without the skull ever striking any object. Two groups of people who are the most at risk for brain injury are young men between 15 and 24 and the elderly.

Suffering a brain injury usually changes the victim's life forever. There are many serious consequences that result from a brain injury, which may include:

Speech impairment
Paralysis
Perception difficulties
Communication difficulties
Mood changes
Seizures & Related Disorders
Depression
Memory problems
Difficulty concentrating
Spastic muscles

Brain injuries frequently require surgery to alleviate some of the blood and pressure that has gathered near the brain. There are many different treatments and specialists that a brain injury patient may require, including a speech pathologist, physical therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, occupational therapy, medication regimens, and a variety of rehabilitation services. The economic and social impact of brain injuries, even mild traumatic brain injuries, can be devastating and life altering.
