Common Misconceptions About Acquired Brain Injuries
Acquired brain injuries (ABIs) are complex conditions that can result from various causes, such as traumatic brain injury, stroke, or brain tumors. Unfortunately, there are several misconceptions surrounding ABIs that can lead to misunderstandings and stigma. Let's debunk some of the most common misconceptions:
| Misconception | Reality |
|---|---|
| ABI only affects cognitive abilities | ABI can also impact physical, emotional, and behavioral functions |
| ABI is always visible | Some ABIs may not have visible physical symptoms |
| ABI recovery is quick and complete | Recovery from ABI can be a long and ongoing process |
| ABI only affects older adults | ABI can affect individuals of all ages |
