The core of your being is your brain. What happens in our bodies that is NOT controlled by our brain? Your brain controls how you relate to your spouse, your parents, your children and everyone else in your life. Your brain helps you decide whether to eat pizza or steak for dinner and whether or not to go to a ballgame or stay home and play with your children. So, if your brain is altered due to traumatic injuries, these thought and decision-making processes might also be altered.
When someone looks completely the same as they did before injury, yet their responses, actions, abilities, thoughts, or speech is changed, it is difficult to understand the impact on the injured person. But, to the person who has a traumatic brain injury, the wounds are real.
