Is TBI always properly diagnosed?
Some TBI cases are difficult to detect because even a CT scan can show proper brain functioning when there is in fact brain damage. Brain damage is not just a result of unconsciousness, and headaches and mood swings are both symptoms that can come from a closed head injury. Some symptoms may not appear until much after the injury. Often times neurologist reserve their time for only serious head injuries and a regular physician may not catch a problem in a routine office visit.
