Brain Injury Q&A
A brain injury occurs when your head or body experiences a jolt or violent impact. Such injuries can result from various situations, including:
- Falls
- Violence
- Car accidents
- Sports injuries
Additionally, a brain injury can happen if an object forcefully penetrates the skull. Mild brain injuries, such as concussions, can temporarily alter brain cells and disrupt both physical and mental functions. More severe injuries may involve tissue damage, brain bleeding, and other serious complications. At All Times Behavioral Health, we provide comprehensive care for brain injuries in both adults and children, focusing on both the physical and psychological impacts. Our team develops tailored treatment plans to alleviate symptoms and safeguard your long-term brain health.
It's important to seek a diagnostic evaluation at All Times Behavioral Health whenever you sustain a head injury, regardless of its severity. Some brain injuries might not show symptoms immediately but can lead to significant complications if not properly managed. You should seek medical attention if you experience head trauma and symptoms such as:
- Headaches
- Blurry vision
- Mood swings
- Memory loss and confusion
- Dizziness or drowsiness
- Loss of balance or coordination
- Loss of consciousness
Children may also experience seizures following a brain injury. Our team will conduct a thorough diagnostic evaluation of your symptoms and physical health, possibly including a CT scan or MRI to assess brain health. Based on the results, we will create a treatment plan aimed at relieving symptoms and preventing further injury.
For mild brain injuries, treatment may not be necessary beyond rest and over-the-counter medications for headache management. However, if your injury is more severe or involves mood disorders such as depression or anxiety, prescription medications may be required. For serious injuries, our team might prescribe antiseizure medications or other treatments.
Lifestyle adjustments may also be recommended to prevent further trauma. Additionally, we can refer you to rehabilitative therapies such as speech therapy, physical therapy, or occupational therapy to help restore full function.
