Domestic Violence Victims Suffer Brain Injuries

Understanding the damage multiple concussions can do to the human brain has come a long way in the past 10 years. High school and other youth sports players are now routinely taken off the field after a brain-jarring hit. College and professional teams are more invested in identifying any possible brain injury on the field at the time of the injury and involving medical specialists in making sure players’ brains have time to recover from an injury before they return to play.

Too many professional athletes, especially professional football players, have suffered memory loss, trouble concentrating, and depression or other psychological problems as a result of multiple concussions over years of play on the field. The tragic stories of athletes diagnosed with Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, or CTE, mainly after death, have made clear that repeated trauma to the brain can also lead to dementia, Parkinson’s, severe psychiatric problems, and ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Now there is news from Kaiser Health that there are other victims of repeated concussions and the resulting damage to the brain who have been hidden in the shadows: victims of domestic violence. Cover Three protects the brain, and supports repair of the brain after injury, so take Cover Three!
