Can I have a TBI and NOT even know it?

YES!  Many people who have problems such as poor memory, difficulties in learning and behavioral issues are unaware they are experiencing symptoms resulting from an “unidentified” traumatic brain injury. An unidentified TBI usually stems from a past trauma, and medical treatment was not sought.  Click link below to learn more:

-OR-

 

On the Other Hand…It Might be Intentional…

Studies show that 50% (or more) may choose not to report their TBI symptoms due to various reasons, such as fear of stigma, concerns about the impact on their personal or professional life, or simply not recognizing the severity of their symptoms.

This underreporting can lead to a significant number of TBIs going undiagnosed and untreated, which can have long-term consequences for the individual’s health and well-being!
