Concussions & Traumatic
Brain Injury

What Are Concussions & Traumatic Brain Injuries?

Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are disruptions in normal brain function caused by a bump, blow, jolt, blast, or rapid movement of the head. While some TBIs result in unconsciousness or visible injury, many do not—yet they still cause lasting emotional, cognitive, and behavioral effects that can go untreated for years.
Millions of concussions go undiagnosed, especially in individuals who never lost consciousness. These injuries—often caused by sports collisions, falls, car accidents, or combat—can significantly affect brain function even if traditional scans (like MRI or CT) appear normal.

At Genesis TMS, we believe that every brain tells a story—and we’re here to listen and help it heal.

Common Symptoms of TBI

Untreated head trauma may result in various symptoms:

Physical Symptoms:

  • Chronic fatigue
  • Sleep disruption
  • Nausea
  • Light/noise sensitivity
  • Dizziness or balance issues

Cognitive Symptoms:

  • Memory problems
  • Slowed thinking
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Word-finding difficulties

Emotional & Psychological Symptoms:

  • Mood swings
  • Depression
  • Anxiety or panic
  • Irritability or rage
  • Suicidal thoughts

Behavioral Changes:

  • Impulsivity
  • Poor judgment
  • Substance misuse
  • Risk-taking behaviors
  • Angry outbursts

You don’t need to hit your head to hurt your brain.
Even without visible injury, your brain can suffer. The brain is soft like butter, while the skull contains sharp internal ridges. In events like whiplash, your brain can slam forward and backward inside the skull—causing damage without any external signs.

Sometimes symptoms don’t show up immediately. They can appear weeks or even months later, making it harder to connect them to a head injury. Traditional psychiatry may mislabel these symptoms as anxiety, depression, or mood disorders—treating the symptoms without healing the brain.

Who is Affected ?

Each year in the U.S., over 2 million people sustain new head injuries. From student-athletes to veterans, and from car crash survivors to fall victims, concussions are increasingly common—and increasingly missed.

  • Concussion diagnoses have surged by over 40% in recent years.
  • Children aged 10–19 have seen a 71% increase in diagnosed head injuries.
  • Over 350,000 veterans have experienced TBIs since 2000.
  • Many unknowingly suffer from concussions, impacting mood, behavior, and cognition.

The Genesis TMS Approach to Brain Injury

We target regions most affected by concussions and TBIs:

  • Prefrontal cortex (executive function, impulse control)
  • Temporal lobes (memory, mood, learning)
  • Limbic system (emotional regulation)
  • Occipital lobe (vision and sensory processing)
  • Basal ganglia (anxiety, movement, attention)

When Left Untreated, TBI Can Lead To:

  • Major depression
  • Generalized anxiety or panic disorder
  • PTSD-like symptoms
  • Cognitive decline and dementia
  • ADD/ADHD-like behavior
  • Psychosis or hallucinations
  • Drug and alcohol dependence
  • Suicidality
