Quick Check In : How do I know if I have a brain injury?

Checking on your own brain injury symptoms and brain health can feel confusing! Even if you do have symptoms, you might question them more because of the nature of the injury itself and how it affects your thought processes.

Or maybe you have wondered if a loved one is experiencing symptoms after hitting their head. Even after years of living with the effects of traumatic brain injury, often I didn't realize there was a name for what I was experiencing until I came across it in my own research. Here are two reputable sources to see how you and your loved ones are truly feeling today. (Both are 3 minute reads.)
