TBI LONG-TERM EFFECTS

The long-term effects of a TBI can be devastating.

A TBI can change the way you will live your life. If it is serious enough you might need to learn how to talk, feed yourself, bathe and clothe yourself all over again. Or, you might require a caregiver living with you around the clock to help with the most mundane activities of daily life.
