How is a traumatic brain injury treated?
If your brain has been damaged, you may need treatment and rehabilitation such as:
-Physical and occupational therapy
-Speech and language therapy
-Counseling to help you learn ways to cope with your feelings.
-Social support and support groups
-Medicines to help relieve symptoms like sleep problems, chronic pain, and headaches as well as anxiety, depression, or memory problems.
You may need to try different types of treatment before finding the one that helps you.
What do I do if I have TBI?
Before you do anything else, be sure to get medical attention and explain the symptoms you’ve been experiencing. You must be as thorough as you can with your doctor to get a proper diagnosis.
We also strongly encourage you to contact a qualified brain injury attorney to learn about your rights and to receive the professional legal advice you need to win your case.
Brain Injury Association of America recommends to:
- Avoid doing anything that could cause another blow or jolt to the head.
- Ask your doctor when it’s safe to drive a car, ride a bike, or use heavy equipment, because your ability to react may be slower after a brain injury.
- Take only the medications your doctor has approved, and don’t drink alcohol until your doctor says it’s OK.
- You may need help to re-learn skills that were lost so you should contact the Brain Injury Association in your state to learn more about the programs, supports and services available to people with brain injury and their families.
