Season 4 Special Episode: Message from Your Host Tony Ciaglia about TBI “The Silent Epidemic”

I suffered a severe TBI in July 1992 when I was struck in the head by a jet ski. Very little was know back then about Traumatic Brain Injury and it was a miracle that I survived.  Traumatic Brain Injury then was known as “The Silent Epidemic”.

It is now March 2023, more than 30 years after my accident, and TBI is still considered The Silent Epidemic. It is my mission in life to try and shed some light on this terrible injury and to enlighten the public on the life long effects that this injury has had on me and my family.Debilitating psychiatric problems are common and equally devastating to the patient. Among them, depression, is on the top of the list, followed by anxiety and bipolar disorder. According to studies there is also an increased risk of alcohol and substance-related problems and suicidal thoughts.I’m going to share a narrative that I wrote titled “Living Life with a Brain Injury”. I hope you will listen, because it was written from my heart and is all true. It’s my hope that after hearing it you will have a better understanding of what TBI does and someday we can stop calling it “The Silent Epidemic”. I’m also sharing audio of my appearance on The Doctors Show and a lecture I gave at The University Of Wisconsin about Living with a TBI and of course Serial Killers. If you want to see the presentation (which is pretty cool) check it out on our Murderphone You Tube Channel. 

Take care, Stay Safe

And Remember 

Always Walk In The Calm after the Storm
