I survived a traumatic brain injury in 2011, have had 6 brain surgeries, was in a coma for nine days, and had to learn to do basic stuff again. I am proud to be a survivor, as I only had a 17% of living :)

IrrelevantCanary8537, my brother also suffered with that aged 16. They pretty well told mum to just wait for the phone call to say he was gone. The phone rang, and to her amazement a nurse rang an assured her nothing short of a miracle had happened as he lived. Of course he was very ill mentally for years and years. As he already had brain damage before the infection. I'm so glad you are ok. As I certainly understand your suffering. May God's spirit always be with you amen.

Cozzy 25, I’ve found something that hopefully will correct the chemical imbalance of the brain causing depression. It’s called TMS (trans magnetic stimulation). Hopefully it will get rid of 41 years of horrific depression.😢

Originated from the Greek word en (inside), cephalic (head) and pathos (illness). :)

Encephalopathy, as most of medical words it derives from Greek: encephalos means brain and pathos means suffer

happydoghappycat, Hepatic encephalopathy means the liver fails to filter toxins out of your blood leading to the brain being affected. Alcohol intoxication is an example of this.

Abu Rayan, do you mean herpetic encephalitis? That type isn't liver related.
