Why not click on the National Headway website? It has lots of useful medical information about the effects of Traumatic Brain injury (TBI) on survivors, relatives and carers. It allows you to download fact sheets about:
- physical after-effects that sometimes develop after head injury such as the types of damage occurring early on in recovery (e.g., subarachnoid haemorrhage, subdural haematoma and hydrocephalus), epilepsy and physical disabilities;
- common cognitive after-effects such as forgetfulness and memory problems, concentration problems, executive difficulties and dysphasia;
- possible motional after-effects such as personality and identity changes, depression, irritability and frustration, anxiety and worry;
- potential social consequences such as loss of friends and the effects of unemployment;
- available treatments and therapies as well as stories of survivors finding a new life and place in the world;
- conferences and training events
