The healing process after an ABI is slow and gradual, with improvements slowing down and eventually plateauing. Unlike some other brain conditions, ABI follows a more linear trajectory of recovery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABI is often referred to as a hidden disability because it can be easily overlooked or misunderstood by others.
