If the head is hit or violently shaken (such as from a blast or explosion), a concussion or closed head injury can result. Concussion is seldom life threatening, so doc- tors often use the term “mild” when the person is only dazed or confused or loses consciousness for a short time. However, concussion can result in serious symptoms. People who survive multiple concussions may have more serious problems. People who have had a concussion may say they are “ﬁ ne,” although their behavior or personality has changed. If you notice such changes in a family member or friend, suggest they seek medical care. Keep in mind that these are common experiences, but may oc- cur more frequently with TBI. If in doubt, ask your doctor.
