The life of a person who has sustained a traumatic brain injury will be changed forever, and even the most basic of skills may need to be relearned. Short or long term disabilities and impairments may prove life difficult for a victim of a traumatic brain injury, as well as the victim's family. Depending upon the severity of the brain injury and the age of the victim, many aspects of the individual's life will be changed.

Some things that may change for an adult victim of traumatic brain injury include his or her marital relationship, sexual functions, employment, and financial status. A child will experience a variety of changes following a traumatic brain injury, including the loss of friends, getting behind in school, and stress on the family.

Adults and children may both experience some of the same effects following a traumatic brain injury, such as:

• Speech and Language difficulties
• Seizures
• Attention difficulties
• Mood changes
• Reading and memory problems
• Seizure disorders
• Hand eye coordination and balance problems

Along with physical and emotional changes, a person who has experienced a brain injury will have to change their lifestyle. They may no longer be able to perform or enjoy the activities that they used to. Months or years of rehabilitation and therapy may be required to help regain use of the limbs, speak, eat, and perform daily tasks.
