Too many men suffer in silence.
Brain injuries can significantly affect mental health, emotions and behaviour.
Asking for help is strength.

What people see as anger, laziness, mood swings or forgetfulness may actually be symptoms of neurological injury.
Awareness creates empathy.
Education reduces stigma.

Disrupted CSF flow can affect brain health and neurological function.

Understanding Neurons
Neurons are the brainโs communicators, sending signals that help us think, move, feel, learn and remember.
Brain injury can disrupt these connections โ but the brain also has the ability to adapt and rebuild through neuroplasticity

Understanding Myelin
Myelin is the protective coating around nerve fibres that helps messages travel quickly through the brain and body.
Damage to myelin can affect memory, balance, movement, fatigue, emotions and concentration โ often through invisible symptoms.

Brain injuries and suspected CTE affect entire families โ not just the individual.
Partners, parents, children and friends often become carers whilst carrying exhaustion, stress and grief of their own.
Carers need support too. ๐

Many veterans live with invisible brain injuries caused by blast exposure, concussions & repetitive head trauma.
TBI and possible CTE deserve far greater awareness, support and research.
Invisible injuries are still injuries.

Recognise it. Respect it. Recover from it.
