Teens often engage in risky behaviors, but a head injury may mean double trouble, a new study found.

For some injuries, recovery may be a lifelong process that includes risks along the way. Traumatic brain injury may be such a condition.

Many of us will remember what it was like to be an awkward, clumsy teenager. Remember bonking our heads on a door after staring a bit too long at our high school crush? How often are injuries like these serious?

Head injuries can come with an unpredictable recovery process. Coping with the physical and mental stress of a traumatic brain injury may lead to short-term substance abuse.

Living through a brain bleed may provide a second chance to quit smoking. Kicking the habit and taking care of blood pressure and cholesterol can help keep these patients alive.
