Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) are categorized into three levels: mild, moderate, and severe. Mild TBIs, commonly known as concussions, are the most frequent form of brain injuries. While they are often perceived as less serious, their symptoms can persist from 3 months to over a year. When symptoms extend beyond three months, the condition may develop into post-concussive syndrome.

One significant aspect to note is that standard imaging techniques, such as CT scans or MRIs, often appear normal despite the presence of a TBI. This discrepancy highlights the difference between the brain's structural form and its functional capabilities.

Moreover, individuals recovering from a TBI frequently experience psychological distress, including adjustment difficulties, depression, and anxiety. These emotional challenges are an integral part of the recovery process and require appropriate attention and care.

At Cascade Neuropsychology, we specialize in assessing mild TBIs. Our comprehensive evaluations are designed to detect even subtle cognitive impairments and provide you with a detailed understanding of your condition.

Comprehensive understanding and timely intervention are crucial in managing TBIs effectively. Recognizing the nuances of both physical and psychological impacts can significantly improve outcomes for those affected.
