Many people don't realize that Traumatic Brain Injury can cause persistent behavioral challenges. Even people diagnosed with a “mild to moderate” TBI may have devastating long-term effects. Patients may experience mood swings, an inability to concentrate, and severe depression. Many times, people do not connect these symptoms to their TBI, and face serious problems if left undiagnosed and untreated. The suicide rate among people with TBI is increased two to three times.
