Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) occurs when sudden trauma causes damage to the brain. TBI can  occur when the head suddenly and forcefully hits an object or when an object  pierces the skull and enters the brain tissue.  This  may occur when a person is involved in an auto accident, experiences a fall or  from an act of violence. Symptoms of TBI include but are not limited to the  following:

·  Anxiety, nervousness
·  Behavioral changes: 
     o   difficulty controlling urges (disinhibition) 
       o   impulsiveness 
       o   inappropriate laughter 
     o   irritability 
·  Blurry or double vision (diplopia) 
·  Depression 
·  Difficulty concentrating or thinking 
·  Difficulty finding words or understanding the speech of others (aphasia) 
·  Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) 
·  Dizziness 
·  Headache 
·  Incoordination of movements 
·  Lightheadedness 
·  Loss of balance; difficulty walking or sitting
