A brain injury refers to any damage to the brain that can affect how a person thinks, feels and functions. This may occur as a result of a head injury (traumatic brain injury) or due to medical conditions such as stroke, infection or lack of oxygen to the brain (acquired brain injury).
The effects of a brain injury can vary widely depending on the severity and the area of the brain affected. Some people may experience physical symptoms, while others notice changes in memory, concentration, mood or behaviour.
In our clinic, we often see that the emotional and psychological impact of a brain injury can be just as significant as the physical effects. Individuals may experience changes in personality, increased irritability, anxiety, low mood or depression, particularly as they adjust to changes in their abilities or daily life. In some cases, symptoms may appear immediately, while in others they may develop gradually over time. With the right support, many people can adapt, recover and improve their quality of life following a brain injury.
Symptoms of a brain injury can vary, but may include:
In children, we may also see changes in behaviour, learning difficulties or challenges in social or emotional development.
