Traumatic Brain Injury California
I think my good friend is behaving strangely following a terrible accident, what are the signs of brain damage or tbi?

A person that has suffered tbi, a traumatic brain injury, may exhibit a wide variety of symptoms. Some important ones to note would be memory loss, loss of consciousness, lack of coordination, slurred speech, confusion and inability to pay attention, delayed verbal responses, erratic emotions or mood swings or a vacant stare. There are many other ways that a person might also have symptoms following a brain injury. To be safe, take your friend to a physician and get a referral to a neurologist. If the doctor suspects tbi, he may order neuropsychological testing. If cognitive deficits are found a method for accommodating the person's problem can be instituted. Knowing more specifically what the problems are, such as visual disturbances, loss of balance or memory loss, enables all to find ways to protect against risk and eliminate substantial worry and anxiety that accompanies tbi and cognitive deficits.
