Effects Of Brain 
Injury?
An Overview
Brain injuries are extremely dangerous and sometimes 
may lead you to death. Do you know cardiovascular 
diseases can cause brain damage? 
Certainly, in order to prevent the brain from damage, 
doctors use a cerebral protection system while cardiac 
procedures. Well, the effects of brain injuries are different 
from person to person. 
The effects of brain injury are based on several things like 
the nature and location of the injury, the type of condition, 
and more.
Effects of Brain Injury
01 Problems with Organising
02 Impaired self-awareness and brain injury
03 Self-centredness

Problems with Organising
The parts of the brain that 
are responsible for an 
organization can be easily 
affected by injuries. 
Most of the people with a 
brain injury find difficulty 
with organizing, sequencing, 
prioritizing, and completing 
tasks.
Impaired self-awareness and brain 
injury
This is a common effect for 
people who have brain injuries 
with frontal lobe damage. 
During this problem, a person 
fails to assess his own ability and 
limitation. 
In fact, without proper treatment, 
the condition will become worse.
Self-Centredness
In some cases, survivors of brain 
injury have become very self-
centered. This problem can 
affect patient’s personal and 
professional life. 
Besides this, the person may 
face some other problems like 
lack of self-awareness, 
depression, anger, fatigue, and 
reduced social skills.
Impulsive behavior
Impulsive behavior is quite common after 
a traumatic brain injury or TBT. Injury to 
the front lobes affects the area of the 
brain that usually controls a person’s 
impulses. 
This problem can lead to inappropriate 
and impulsive social behavior. In fact, in 
some cases, the person will become very 
rude too. Other causes of impulsive 
behavior are consumption of alcohol and 
other drugs, other types of brain 
disorders, dementia, and mood disorders.
