EP 34 Advocating for Veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury :: Dr. Chrisanne Gordon

Listen to this Episode on Apple Podcasts.

Join Bobbi and Mike as they talk with Dr. Chrisanne Gordon, founder of Resurrecting Lives, about the connection between Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Dementia. Dr. Gordon’s organization provides a national networking community to assist the nearly 450,000 veterans currently affected by TBI.

Over the past 30 years, research has linked moderate and severe traumatic brain injury to a greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia years after a head injury occurs.

What is Traumatic Brain Injury?

Traumatic Brain Injury: Any injury to the brain caused by an external force

If you have been injured in military training or in a deployment setting, by such mechanisms as Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blasts, Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPG), mortar or heavy artillery, of if you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident, fall, sports injury, or training incident resulting in a blow or force to your head, you may be struggling with the affects of TBI.
