@toastyrachelT , anytime there is an injury or tumor on the brain (espeically frontal lobes) there is going to be personality changes. One's frontal lobes are the center of our emotions and behavior. I had a horrific tbi and people are surprised to see where I am at. I have spent the last 6 years reading re-reading, highlighting, thinking about tbi and I can say I could probably out due a graduating med student with my knowledge. My mom is a brain cancer survivor, she had radiation.

THANK YOU for this video I was using it to prepare for a trauma presentation and I think it has Helped MY FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Anthony, How have you dealt with your experience? I have the belief that we can choose our experiece; and the direction that I am choosing to do is Focus on Ayrvedic therapies to promote brain growth.Maintaining consistent brain growth is really all that you need. Healthy diet is a big portion (Eat HEMP +Hemp Oil); I would personally MAKE SURE that I am NOT heavy metal toxic. I say this because, I once was heavy metal toxic and had fillings in my mouth, praise Jesus they are Gone now.

Yes, it depends how hard you get hit though, I hit myself and gave myself brain damage from getting mad over a video game, it depends how hard you hit yourself, I hit myself really hard; my punches are strong as a sidewalk, therefore I gave myself brain damage. It sucks though because I ruined my personality and I ruined who I was :-(. Another thing that happened and gave me brain damage was getting a tennis ball at my head. Since all this happened I can no longer, it sucks cause I loved being..

Great video. The brain is such an interesting organ and any injury to the brain is devastating. I am glad to see quality medical information here on you tube.

I recieved a penetrating head wound in Vietnam in 1968.The left parietal lobe and occipital lobes were amputated. I could read but I could not write print or spell.I could add but I could not subtract. The amnesia was very difficult to live with. I did not know my left hand from my right.I could not remember the love of my mother.I was a grown adult man with the thought process of a 5 year old. The govnt gave me no rehab. I had to relearn everything. Geographic aphasia veery difficult.

I fell 140 feet rock-climbing. I was attending University of California Santa Cruz and graduated with a degree in Biochemistry March 21, 1989. I have stuff online too. Email me for the lkinks.:TBI students are guaranteed a mediocre education - everywhere. I needed writing help - which was never offered. The loneliness of Friday nights, grinding away on homework that other students breeze through can not be described. Other students had social lives and I watched mine dwindle. Anthony

Ditto for me. Life with a brain injury is a constant challenge, especially when you don't have a "support group" of any kind and your friends don't think there's anything wrong with you because you "look fine" to them. I have watched this video a bunch of times, still don't understand it all and can't remember what I learned from it until I watch it again, lol, but it's very informative. I think.

An excellent video. I am a TBI survivor of 2 yrs. I didn't know this kind of info was available after my accident and trying to read a book required memory that at the time I just didn't have. I started making a documentary "RECLAIMING YOUR LIFE AFTER A TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY" (Part 1 on YouTube) It has definitely been the most challenging experience of my life time, dealing with the frustration, depression, memory and the adjustment to learning a new way to live.

Great technical video that may be life saving. Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) may occur accidentally or in war or boxing. Your video teaches us the limitations inherently present in CT or MRI imaging. A favorite video. Thanks.
