We see you — whether you’re recovering from a concussion, a stroke, or anything in between. 🧠💙
There’s a lot of confusion around brain injury terminology.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
Concussion — a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that temporarily disrupts normal brain function. And yes, mild doesn’t mean minor.
mTBI (mild Traumatic Brain Injury) — the clinical term for a concussion. Same thing, fancier name.
MTBI (Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury) — a step up in severity, typically involving longer loss of consciousness and a more extended recovery.
sTBI (severe Traumatic Brain Injury) — a more serious injury with significant, often long-lasting effects on brain function.
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) — any brain injury occurring after birth, whether from trauma like a fall, or non-traumatic causes like stroke or oxygen deprivation.
Post-Concussion Syndrome/Symptoms (PCS) — when concussion symptoms linger beyond the expected recovery window. You’re not imagining it. It’s real, and it’s treatable.
