Approximately every 15 seconds, someone in America suffers a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

This vlog discusses a true silent epidemic -- traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Not many people know that there are more TBIs each year than new cases of all types of cancer combined.

  • I have a TBI from a concussion, I've been starting to make videos about my journey and to put a face to Brain Injury

  • Hi Craig. I had a vehicular TBI in 1986 (100+ stitches). My TBI was unrecognized until this year. My family physician has been mostly useless, even though I have long complained of having severe depression, severe confusion, severe anger management issues, and have not worked steadily for more than a decade. Apparently my frontal lobes were damaged severely enough that I could have had a disability status this entire time. TBIs can be VERY deleterious to one's life. All the best to you.

  • My name is Craig Sears; I was in a motor vehicle accident in 1987, leaving me with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) Silent Epidemic. After suffering a brain injury, as most survivors do, I have been faced with many new and overwhelming challenges in everyday living. As a survivor of a brain injury, my journey made me all-too familiar with the difficulties of individuals and families working through the arbitrary system of care.

  • Piracetam fixes this, or atleast ones asssociated with memory.

  • well done!

  • Our brain is our soul. When it dies so do we. We are our brains.

  • Excellent information...and so true!
