Traumatic brain injuries result from external forces impacting the brain, causing a range of symptoms and long-term effects. TBIs are classified into two main types: primary injuries, which occur at the moment of impact, and secondary injuries, which develop over time due to the body’s response to the initial injury.

Traumatic Brain Injury has the potential to profoundly alter a person's personality. These changes are often multifaceted and can include shifts in emotional regulation, impulse control, and social behavior. For instance, individuals who once exhibited calm and stable moods may experience sudden and unpredictable mood swings, ranging from irritability to intense outbursts of anger. Impulsivity can also become a significant issue, leading to risky decisions and behaviors. Furthermore, some individuals with TBI may struggle with social appropriateness, displaying a lack of empathy or understanding of social cues. These personality changes can be deeply challenging for both the TBI survivor and their loved ones, requiring comprehensive rehabilitation and support to help them navigate these transformations and rebuild their lives.

Primary injuries can include:

• Concussions
• Contusions
• Skull fractures
• Hematomas (blood clots)
• Diffuse axonal injury (shearing of brain nerves)

These injuries can lead to immediate symptoms like loss of consciousness, confusion, and headaches.

Secondary injuries, which evolve over time, can be equally or more dangerous. They include:

• Swelling or edema
• Increased intracranial pressure
• Ischemia (reduced blood flow)
• Brain herniation
• Infections
• Changes in personality and behavior
• Cognitive impairments

These injuries often require long-term medical attention and can profoundly impact a person’s quality of life.
