Long term effects of Traumatic brain injury:
It’s important for individuals who have experienced a concussion to seek medical attention, follow proper concussion management protocols, and allow adequate time for recovery to minimize the risk of long-term complications.
While most individuals recover fully, repeated concussions or severe concussions can have long-term consequences. This includes conditions such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which is associated with repetitive head trauma and can lead to cognitive decline, mood disorders, and other neurological symptoms later in life.
