Brain injury can be the cause of many serious problems, amongst them:
One fact about brain injury is that problems are frequently invisible. Other people often think that the person affected seems fine. This means that a brain injured person and their family can feel alone and isolated, and may have a hard time finding support and understanding.
Families, friends and carers are often the only ones to fully experience the true degree to which brain injury can change a personality. These changes can include mood swings, sensitivity to noise, emotional outbursts and lack of insight.
On top of this, the family may have to deal with financial problems resulting from unemployment and the cost of caring.
Are you someone who has experienced these things, first hand or otherwise? If the answer is yes, then Headway is the organisation devoted to your needs.
All over Scotland there are thousands of people who live with the day to day consequences of brain injury. The majority of these will have had car accidents, but others will have brain injuries resulting from a fall, assault, aneurysm, or a different cause. However, the range of clients served by each individual group varies, and it is best to check with your local group.
