Concussions: Let's Debunk Some Myths
Around Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Let's clear up four misconceptions right here:
You can't have a "mild concussion"or a "severe concussion."
There is only "concussion (mTBI)." You sustain one, or you don't.
There is no grading system for concussion severity
Your brain does not bruise in a concussion. Part of the diagnostic
criteria in concussion (mTBI) is that there are no imaging
findings on CT/MRI.
You do not have to "blackout" to have sustained a concussion. It
turns out that less than 10% of all concussions involve a loss of
consciousness.
You do not have to be hit in the head to sustain a concussion. A
concussion is an acceleration-deceleration injury that causes
functional damage to your brain
