What are the Potential Effects of TBI? The severity of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) may range from “mild” (i.e., a brief change in mental status or consciousness) to “severe” (i.e., an extended period of unconsciousness or amnesia after the injury). A TBI can cause a wide range of functional short- or long-term changes affecting: Thinking (i.e., memory and reasoning); Sensation (i.e., sight and balance); Language (i.e., communication, expression, and understanding); and Emotion (i.e., depression, anxiety, personality changes, aggression, acting out, and social inappropriateness). A TBI can also cause epilepsy and increase the risk for conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other brain disorders. About 75% of TBIs that occur each year are concussions or other forms of mild TBI. Repeated mild TBIs occurring over an extended period of time can result in cumulative neurological and cognitive deficits. Repeated mild TBIs occurring within a short period of time (i.e., hours, days, or weeks) can be catastrophic or fatal. For information on how to prevent TBI and the potentially serious effects from this injury, please visit TBI Prevention page.

监护 遗嘱认证法院通常会指定受监护人的家庭成员或其密友为监护人。有时，法院也会指定其他人，例如律师。法院会尝试确定受监护人更喜欢谁，但如果存在冲突，可能会指定无利害关系的一方。 非自愿 任何成年人均可使用此表格申请为据称无行为能力的成年人指定监护人。法院认为，即使在适当协助下，也无法满足个人基本需求的人将指定“人身监护人”来监督其个人事务。这些需求可能包括但不限于食物、衣服、住所、医疗保健和安全需求。法院认为，如果某人无行为能力，除非提供充分的财产管理，否则其财产将被浪费，则将指定“财产监护人”来监督其财务事务。这可能包括但不限于获取和管理资产、收入和公共援助福利的行动。申请书还可要求指定继任监护人。被请求指定监护的人称为被告。 自主性 任何成年人均可使用此表格向法院申请任命自愿的人身或财产监护人来管理其个人或财务事务，或两者兼而有之。自愿的“人身监护人”负责监督个人事务，例如食物、衣服、住所、医疗保健和安全需求。自愿的“财产监护人”负责监督财务事务。这可能包括但不限于获取和管理资产、收入和公共援助福利的行动。请愿书还可以要求任命继任监护人。 监护人是由遗嘱认证法院任命的负责监督成年人财务或个人事务的人员。在非自愿监护中，只有法院认定个人无法照顾自己或无法管理自己的财务事务时，才会任命监护人。在自愿监护中，法院会根据寻求帮助管理自己事务的成年人的请求任命监护人，而不会认定该人无能力。 监护人有两种。个人监护人负责监管个人事务，确保满足被监护人的基本需求，包括食物、住所、衣服和医疗保健。财产监护人负责监管财务事务，包括照管财产、管理银行账户和确保安全处理被监护人的收入。 保护者和有兴趣成为保护者的人士可以通过点击“保护者” 链接找到更多信息。 本网站所含信息仅供参考，不应被视为任何事项的法律建议。本网站提供的信息不是法律建议，不构成律师转介服务，使用本网站不会或不应形成律师-客户或保密关系。内容的准确性、完整性、充分性或时效性不予保证。我们的网站和服务不能替代律师的建议或服务。如果您需要法律、商业或税务建议，我们建议您咨询律师或其他适当的专业人士。我们努力保持我们的内容和文件准确、最新和最新。但是，由于法律变化迅速，我们无法保证网站和服务上的所有信息都是完全最新的。不同司法管辖区的法律不同，可能由不同的法院进行解释。法律是个人事务，我们提供的一般信息或法律工具无法适用于所有情况。此外，网站和服务中包含的法律信息不是法律建议，不保证其正确、完整或最新。因此，如果您需要针对特定问题的法律建议，或者您的特定问题过于复杂，无法通过我们的工具解决，您应该咨询您所在地区的执业律师。我们的网站和服务并非旨在建立任何律师-客户关系，并且您对我们网站和服务的使用不会在任何情况下在您和我们之间建立律师-客户关系。我们不是律师转介服务，网站和服务以及其他资源和信息仅供个人使用。

Did you know? About 44.4 million persons in the U.S. are family caregivers 46 is the average age of a family caregiver 61% of family caregivers are women 4.3 is the average length of time (in years) that family caregivers provide care 59% of family caregivers are employed SOURCE: Caregiving in The U.S., National Alliance for Caregiving & AARP, Funded by the MetLife Foundation and the Mature Market Institute® Approximately 22.9 million households provide unpaid care to an adult family member or friend who is age 18 and older. On average, family caregivers provide 21 hours of care per week. This “free” care, however, is not without cost; many family caregivers feel isolated, stressed by balancing work, family, and caregiving, and perhaps even depressed. The value of family caregiving to society has been estimated to be $306 billion annually. Nearly 60% of those caring for an adult over age 50 are working, the majority of them full time. In the past, responsibilities for caregiving almost exclusively belonged to women, but currently about 39% of caregivers are men. SOURCE: Study by the Mature Market Institute® and National Alliance for Caregiving in cooperation with the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging In one important study done by the Mature Market Institute, those surveyed said they made at least one formal adjustment to their work schedule as a result of caring for a partner or other family member: 16% quit their job 20% cut back to part-time 22% took a leave of absence Respondents also stated that caregiving affected their ability to advance on the job: 29% passed up a promotion, training or assignment 25% passed up an opportunity for job transfer or Job relocation 22% were unable to acquire new job skills SOURCE: Findings from a National Study by the National Alliance for Caregiving and the National Center on Women and Aging at Brandeis University; Findings collected and issued by Mature Market Institute® called “MetLife Juggling Act Study: Balancing caregiving with work and the costs involved” – 1999 Nearly six in ten caregivers (59%) say they have worked at some time while they were actively providing care. Of these, six in ten (62%) say they had to make some work-related adjustments in order to help the person they care for. More than half (57%) of working caregivers say that as a result of their caregiving responsibilities they have had to go in (to work) late, leave early, or take time off during the day to provide care.

You don't have to go alone if you're facing a significant illness or stressful life change. A support group can help. Find out how to choose the right one. Support groups bring together people who are going through or have gone through similar experiences. For example, this common ground might be cancer, chronic medical conditions, addiction, bereavement, or caregiving. A support group allows people to share personal experiences, feelings, coping strategies, or firsthand information about diseases or treatments. For many people, a health-related support group may fill a gap between medical treatment and the need for emotional support. A person's relationship with a doctor or other medical personnel may not provide adequate emotional support, and a person's family and friends may not understand the impact of a disease or treatment. A support group among people with shared experiences may function as a bridge between medical and emotional needs. Structure of support groups A nonprofit advocacy organization, clinic, hospital, or community organization may offer support groups. They also may be independent of any organization and run entirely by group members. Formats of support groups vary, including face-to-face meetings, teleconferences, or online communities. A lay person — someone who shares or has shared the group's common experience — often leads a support group, but a group also may be led by a professional facilitator, such as a nurse, social worker, or psychologist. Some support groups may offer educational opportunities, such as a guest doctor, psychologist, nurse, or social worker, to discuss a topic related to the group's needs. Support groups are not the same as group therapy sessions. Group therapy is a specific type of mental health treatment that brings together several people with similar conditions under the guidance of a licensed mental health care provider. Benefits of support groups The shared experience among support group members often means they have similar feelings, worries, everyday problems, treatment decisions, or side effects. Participating in a group allows you to be with people who likely have a common purpose and the potential to understand one another. The benefits of participating in a support group may include the following: Feeling less lonely, isolated, or judged. Reducing distress, depression, anxiety, or fatigue Talking openly and honestly about your feelings Improving skills to cope with challenges Staying motivated to manage chronic conditions or stick to treatment plans Gaining a sense of empowerment, control, or hope Improving understanding of a disease and your own experience with it Getting practical feedback about treatment options Learning about health, economic or social resources Possible risks Support groups may have drawbacks, and influential groups generally depend on the facilitator to help avoid these problems. These problems may include the following: Disruptive group members Conversation dominated by griping Lack of confidentiality Emotional entanglement, group tension, or interpersonal conflicts Inappropriate or unsound medical advice Competitive comparisons of whose condition or experience are worse Pros and cons of online support groups Online support groups offer benefits and risks that are particular to that format. It's essential to consider these factors before joining an online group. Benefits of online groups include: More frequent or flexible participation Opportunities for people who may not have local face-to-face support groups A degree of privacy or anonymity Risks of online support groups include the following: Communication only by written text can lead to confusion or understanding and clarity among group members. Anonymity may lead to inappropriate or disrespectful comments or behaviors. Participation online may result in isolation from other friends or family. Online communities may be particularly susceptible to misinformation or information overload. People may use the online environment to prey on people, promote a product or commit fraud. How to find a support group Information about support groups may be available from the following: Your doctor, clinic, or hospital Nonprofit organizations that advocate for particular medical conditions or life changes National Institutes of Health websites for specific diseases and conditions Questions to ask before joining a support group Support groups vary in how they are organized and led. Before joining a support group, ask the following questions: Is the group designed for people with a specific medical condition or a particular stage of disease? Does the group meet for a set period of time, or does it continue indefinitely? Where does the group meet? At what times and how often does the group meet? Is there a facilitator or moderator? Has the facilitator undergone training? Is a mental health expert involved with the group? What are the guidelines for confidentiality? Are there established ground rules for group participation? What is a typical meeting like? Is it free, and if not, what are the fees? Red flags that might indicate a problematic support group include the following: Promises of a sure cure for your disease or condition High fees to attend the group Pressure to purchase products or services Getting the most out of a support group When you join a new support group, you may be nervous about sharing personal issues with people you don't know. You may benefit from simply listening. Over time, however, contributing your ideas and experiences may help you get more out of a support group. Try a support group for a few weeks. If it doesn't feel like a good fit for you, consider a different support group or a different support group format. Remember that a support group isn't a substitute for regular medical care. Let your doctor know that you're participating in a support group. If you don't think a support group is appropriate for you but need help coping with your condition or situation, talk to your doctor about counseling or other types of therapy.
