A member asked:
I was wondering how difficult is it to get brain damage that is permanent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not difficult at all: The brain is very sensitive. For example, traumatic brain injury frequently leads to permanent brain damage. If you are asking about less dramatic insults, it is very well known that alchohol affects the brain and long term excessive use can lead to clear cognitive and motor impairment--ie. Brain damage.
