BRAIN INJURY
          What is it?
                There are two main kinds of brain injury: Congenital brain injury (CBI) and Acquired brain injury (ABI) , of which traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a type.
CBI is a brain injury with which one is born. Examples include Cerebral Palsy and mental retardation.
ABI is a brain injury which one develops or experiences after birth. Examples include concussion due to blunt force trauma to the head and haemorrhage or stroke or bleed in the brain.
TBI is a brain injury which one develops or experiences resulting from a traumatic event, whether it be physical or psychological. Examples include sustaining a blow to the head or witnessing a violent event such as watching a loved one be assaulted. TBI typically includes a psychological component resulting from the event.
