A member asked:

How bad of a head injury does it take to affect the natural working of your inside bodily functions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Like anyone else.: Head injury will alter brain function. Some will recover more quickly than others. Each patient must be assessed by age, severity of injury, pre-existing conditions, rate of recovery, associated physical and emotional problems, and desire to recover to normal. No one issue predicts outcome.
