Not included in that figure are the over 300,000 veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who have suffered TBI.

A traumatic brain injury is the result of the brain experiencing a blow to the head which can either leave the skull and brain intact or penetrate the skull and brain. TBI are classified by the severity of the injury to the brain, such as mild, moderate or severe.

A mild brain injury causes headache, slight confusion and dizziness, some blurred vision and may or may not cause a period of unconsciousness. A moderate to severe TBI can cause a persistent headache, nausea and vomiting, seizures, an inability to awaken, weakness of the extremities and profound confusion.

Victims of severe traumatic brain injury require months and years of physical, emotional and financial support to cope with the life-altering effect of their brain injury.
