Is Traumatic Brain Injury, TBI, always diagnosed properly?

0

Unfortunately, some TBI cases are difficult to detect. Even if a CT scan shows proper functioning of the brain, there can be brain damage. In fact, brain damage is possible even without a loss of consciousness. Headaches and mood swings are both symptoms that can come from a closed head injury. One of the worst scenarios occurs when symptoms dont occur for some time after the brain injury incident. Any time someone has new symptoms following an accident, it’s a good idea to go back to the doctor to evaluate the cause and recommend treatment. Often times, a physician will recommend that a patient visit a psychologist or psychiatrist for further treatment.
