The Different Types of Traumatic Brain Injury
According to data collected by the Brain Injury Association of America, more than 5 million people nationwide live with some degree of permanent brain injury. Every year, nearly 3 million Americans seek medical care for brain trauma.
Medical professionals typically categorize traumatic brain injury as mild, moderate or severe. A mild TBI, also commonly referred to as a concussion, may involve loss of consciousness, but it’s typically for less than 30 minutes. Moderate brain injury involves loss of consciousness for up to 6 hours. An injury where there’s loss of consciousness for longer periods will generally be considered severe.
