TBI isn't a headache. As research has found, it's deadly serious and creates cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and physical problems that have life-long consequences for the servicemember and their family. Below is one of many reports.

Calling TBI as a "headache" is as typical as it is damaging: "common symptoms of mTBI...are often associated with other conditions or dismissed as transitory, making identification and appropriate diagnosis challenging." Farmer et al, 2016, p. 2.

RAND also found that "Unpaid caregiving for individuals with TBI is most often provided by a spouse, parent or other blood relative[.] Depression among family caregivers occurs four times more frequently than in the general population."

RAND found that roughly 1 in 5 of the 2.8 million servicemembers that have deployed since 2001 suffer from TBI, but a shortage of skilled healthcare workers have made treatment harder.

So, no. isn't a headache. And we demean and damage those we put in harm's way by describing it as such.

Important to note that TBI isn't a RAND thing, it's a medical thing. There's zero debate in the medical literature about what TBI is, symptoms/signs/longterm sequelae. Grandmas get it too. It's like diabetes, a medical problem. A big, bad severe one.
