Types:
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Results from an external force (e.g., falls, accidents, sports injuries).
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI): Occurs due to internal factors, such as strokes, infections, or lack of oxygen.

Symptoms:
Cognitive: Memory loss, confusion, difficulty concentrating.
Physical: Headaches, dizziness, fatigue, seizures.
Emotional: Mood swings, irritability, depression.

Severity Levels:
Mild: Brief loss of consciousness or confusion (e.g., concussions).
Moderate: Longer unconsciousness and more pronounced symptoms.
Severe: Extended unconsciousness or coma, significant impairments.

Diagnosis:
Neurological examinations, imaging tests (CT scans, MRIs) to assess damage.

Treatment Options:
Immediate Care: Stabilization and management of acute symptoms.
Rehabilitation: Physical, occupational, and speech therapy to regain lost functions.
Medications: To manage symptoms like pain, seizures, or mood changes.

Long-term Effects: May include persistent cognitive, physical, or emotional difficulties, impacting daily life.
Support Needs: Involves education and support for families and caregivers to aid in recovery and adaptation.
