The amount of treatment needed for brain injuries will depend on the severity of the brain injury. Common problems include:
- Cognitive difficulties – an inability of lessening of the ability to think, reason, and remember
- Difficulty in talking and understanding
- Inability or lessening of the ability to see, hear, taste, touch or smell
- Loss of mobility including paralysis
- Behavior problems such as depression, anxiety, and aggression
- Seizures
Serious brain injuries can cause the patient to be:
- In a coma
- A persistent vegetative state – like a coma but with periods of alertness and sleep-wake cycles.
- A low conscious state – like a persistent vegetative state but with some cognitive ability
- Brain Dead – the patient/worker has no measurable brain function. Removing life support would cause physical death.
