Video Response #3 – Traumatic Brain Injury

Lots of people have brain injuries, and depending of the location and intensity of the injury results can be severe. A brain injury can make a person think slower, have problems with their memory, damage their neurons, have neuron inefficiency, and basically change ones life. You can have a normal life one day, and the next day you can be retarded or have a physical inability because of a brain injury. The brain controls everything we do, and it is very fragile so we need to take care of it. Like the people shown in this video demonstrated, living with having a traumatic brain injury changes the way you live, but the people of this video are an example because they try to make the most out of their lives even with the problems and difficulties they have. Traumatic brain injury comes when force is applied to the skull. There are many types of injuries: contusions, axonal injuries, and brain bleeding. Also obviously there is a level of intensity in an injury, which can be mild, moderate, or severe. It is very dangerous to hit your head hard because you could end up dumb. If you have brain injury first you would need medical stability and then rehabilitation. Remember, your brain is very delicate, so don't hit your head.
