Mild brain injury or concussion is the most common type of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Yet it is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. These tip cards provide information for adults and veterans on the symptoms, treatment, and recovery of concussion after head trauma or blast injury.
Undiagnosed brain injuries can have many consequences for youths. The signs and symptoms of a traumatic brain injury or concussion in youths and adults are often missed or overlooked if there is no visible injury or immediate loss of consciousness. This tip card provides checklists for identifying physical, cognitive, behavioral and social changes that may indicate a possible undiagnosed brain injury or concussion. It gives tips on questions to ask and information to gather in order to seek help and treatment.
This Tip card is included in the PTSD Tool Kit for Veterans and Families.
