Brain Damage

In this video we learned about the types of brain damage and their affects on the human brain. Moderate is sustained from a blow to the head as are all types, however this is the easiest to recover from, due to its relatively small effects and short period of recovery time. This deals only small damage to the brain and can typically be recovered from in a 3-6 months. Mild is the next category, with more impact on the brain, often caused by a period of comatose like behavior causing the brain even more damage, however even this rarely takes more then a year to recover from. This does however have the possibility if only small of causing more or less permant damage to the brain. Severe brain damage however is impossible to recover from, or if possible will take years to recover from due to severity of the damage. In most cases this can only be overcome by family and friends providing support and the damage is nearly always permant symptoms include: inability to do certain actions such as count, focus for more then a few seconds, relearning languages and how to do certain basic actions such as walk.
