A Survivor's HandbookBy: Theta Theta No Beta & The Brain Trust |  | Mild Traumatic Brain Injury occurs when there is significant enough impact to the head to cause the brain to hit the skull. Wherever it touches, the brain becomes bruised and there can be an interruption in normal brain function. Falls, bumps and rear-end collisions are common causes of MTBI.
At least one million MTBIs occur each year, with over half of them a result of a vehicle accident. Although they are called mild, for those suffering from this injury the effects can be anything but mild.
Usually there is no open wound and no visible injury so it is often difficult for others to understand that a dramatic change has taken place. However, nerve cells in the brain have been damaged and this causes a disruption in the person's life and makes it impossible to function at pre-injury levels.
Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Survivor's Handbook was written by people who have suffered this type of injury for the purpose of helping others to understand and cope. Too often, the silent epidemic goes unrecognized and untreated. We hope you find the information on this Web site and in the handbook to be helpful and hopeful.
