In this episode of Optimal Health Weekly Podcast, we discuss traumatic brain injuries, following the recent revelations surrounding the death of comedian Bob Saget. We will discuss what providers need to know about TBIs, as well as how to better treat & manage suspected head injuries.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a sudden injury that causes damage to the brain. It may happen when there is a blow, bump, or jolt to the head. This is called a closed head injury. A TBI can also happen when an object penetrates the skull.

Symptoms After Traumatic Brain Injury

Some minor head injuries bleed a lot, while some major injuries don’t bleed at all. It’s important to treat all head injuries seriously and get them assessed by a doctor.
