🚨 What Happens After a Car Accident: The Silent Danger of Untreated Concussions 🚨

Car accidents can cause more than just visible injuries—**concussions** are a common but often overlooked consequence. A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that occurs when the brain hits the inside of the skull due to a sudden impact. Many people don’t realize that the symptoms—headache, dizziness, confusion, or memory loss—might not be immediate, making it hard to diagnose without proper medical attention.

What happens if it goes undiagnosed?

Without a proper diagnosis or treatment, the risk of long-term damage is real. Untreated concussions can lead to **post-concussion syndrome (PCS)**, which may result in persistent headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and cognitive impairments that last for months or even years. There’s also a danger of **second-impact syndrome**—a potentially fatal condition if another concussion occurs before the brain has fully healed.

Long-term consequences include:
- Chronic headaches and migraines
- Difficulty concentrating and memory issues
- Mood changes, including depression and anxiety
- Sleep disturbances
- Increased risk for neurological conditions like dementia and Parkinson's disease

Always seek medical evaluation after an accident, even if symptoms seem mild!
