If a person suffers a traumatic brain injury , whether as a result of a fall, an auto accident , an assault, or other causes, he or she may find that life is changed forever. The brain is an extremely complex organ which is still incompletely understood, and sometimes a brain injury can result in some debilitating and/or bizarre effects on the way a person sees and interprets the world. Although a complete list of the possible brain disorders following a brain injury is beyond the scope of a single article, here are a few interesting possible outcomes of a traumatic brain injury. Dysarthria Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder that results from brain injury or nerve injury in which a person has less control over his or her speech than he or she used to have. A loss of control over the lips, tongue, throat or lungs might be the cause, and the type of dysarthria experienced can be of many different types. For example, spastic dysarthria is where the affected system experiences spasms of activity, while flaccid dysarthria is where the affected system loses the ability to act. Disarthric speech may be slurred or whispered, and may be accompanied by drooling, especially in the case of flaccid dysarthria. Synesthesia Synesthesia is a neurological condition that sometimes results from brain injury in which a person experiences one type of sensory or cognitive experience with a second sensory or cognitive stimulus. For example, a person might hear a sound and automatically see a color. In another form of the condition, letters or numbers are perceived as being inherently colored. Although most people with synesthesia are born with the condition, it sometimes occurs as a result of traumatic brain injury. Cotard Delusion A person with Cotard Delusion following a brain injury believes that he or she is dead or does not exist. The person may believe that he or she perished in the accident that resulted in the brain injury, or may believe that he or she actually never existed and was, instead, a figment of others' imagination. This delusion can induce a person to perform detrimental acts, such as ceasing to go to a job, failing to maintain relationships, or even inflicting self-injury to prove their nonexistence. Capgras Delusion In Capgras Delusion, a person disbelieves not his or her own existence, but the existence of those close to him or her. The person believes that family and friends have been replaced with exact duplicates. It might be called the "Pod Person Disorder," because nothing can convince these people that their loved ones really are their loved ones and not imposters. As a result of the delusion, sufferers may shun or even injure loved ones to prove their state as imposters. For example, in 1989, a Capgras sufferer in Missouri beheaded his stepfather, whom he believed to be a robot, intended to discover batteries and electronics inside. Even without any of these conditions, recovery from a brain injury can be difficult and/or expensive. If you have suffered a brain injury as a result of the neglect or misconduct of others, you deserve compensation for your injury.
