I can’t get a answer from askdocs. Just wanting to understand if the kind of brain damage that keeps turning people crazy is from really bad head injuries or just from alot of less bad head injuries or both or if theres anything to prevent getting CTE besides avoiding concussions obviously. thank you.

Answer 1

Concussions and sub-concussive trauma both cause short term damage to the brain, but they may also result in long term damage such as CTE or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. – https://youtu.be/k7BdLyB-Duc
