What is it like to live with a brain injury?
A metaphor to explain what it is like to live with an injured brain and why someone with a brain injury can't explain it.
Each year, traumatic brain injuries (TBI) contribute to a substantial number of deaths and cases of permanent disability. A TBI is caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain. The severity of a TBI may range from “mild” to “severe.” Even an injury labeled "mild" will not feel mild to the person affected by it.
TBI in the United States:
An estimated 2.8 million people sustain a TBI annually.
Of them:
50,000 die,
282,000 are hospitalized, and
2.5 million, nearly 90%, are treated and released from an emergency department.
TBI is a contributing factor to a third (30%) of all injury-related deaths in the United States.
Every day, 153 people in the United States die from injuries that include TBI.
