Your first thought is one of relief. You are grateful that the accident that resulted in your traumatic brain injury did not cause your death. You are thankful to have survived and you feel that you are able to handle the pain and limitations that result from your traumatic brain injury. Yet, the risks of suffering complications may not be over.
Three Risks You Need to Watch for in the Future
As you recover from your known injuries, it is important to watch for the potential development of:
- Delayed Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Stroke
- Alzheimer’s
