It’s no surprise that people like Gary
Busey, Jackie Chan, or Miley Cyrus suffered head injuries. But brain injuries are
far more common than you might expect. According to biausa.org, there are more
than 5.3 million people in the United States living with a permanent brain-injury
related disability. While many of the other celebrities do not suffer from a permanent
disability, some may surprise you. Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Rebel
Wilson, Lady Gaga, Derek Amato, Justin Bieber, Roald Dahl, Priyanka Chopra,
Gavin Degraw, Natasha Richardson, and Richard Hammond all suffered traumatic
brain injuries. Some of them were more severe than others and some of them had
more lasting effects. Which leads me to remind you all of something that can
never be said enough.
Every brain injury is UNIQUE. No
two brain injuries are the same.
Brain injuries are unpredictable
and there is no set treatment because of it.
The effects are complex and vary
greatly from person to person.
The effects and longevity depend
on factors such as cause, location and severity.
