Concussion
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that is caused by a blow to the head or body that causes the brain to move back and forth rapidly. This can happen during contact sports, falls, car accidents, or other types of trauma.
Symptoms of a concussion
Symptoms of a concussion can range from mild to severe, and can include:
- Headache
- Nausea or vomiting
- Dizziness or balance problems
- Confusion or disorientation
- Memory loss
- Difficulty concentrating
- Sensitivity to light or sound
- Fatigue
- Sleep problems
- Mood changes
- Loss of consciousness
Treatment for a concussion
Treatment for a concussion typically involves rest and avoiding activities that could worsen the symptoms. In some cases, medication may be prescribed to help with symptoms such as headache or nausea. Surgery is rarely necessary.
Recovery from a concussion
Most people recover from a concussion within a few weeks. However, some people may experience symptoms for months or even years. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to see a doctor.
Preventing concussions
There are a number of things that can be done to prevent concussions, including:
- Wearing a helmet when participating in contact sports or other activities where there is a risk of head injury
- Avoiding activities that could lead to a fall or other type of trauma
- Taking precautions to prevent car accidents

Why is concussion rapidly rising on Google Trends AU?
There are a number of reasons why concussion is rapidly rising on Google Trends AU. One reason is that there has been a growing awareness of the risks of concussion, particularly in contact sports. This is due in part to the efforts of organizations such as the Concussion Legacy Foundation and the CDC.
Another reason for the increase in interest in concussion is the growing number of concussion lawsuits that have been filed in recent years. These lawsuits have raised awareness of the potential long-term consequences of concussion, and have led to changes in the way that concussions are diagnosed and treated.
Finally, the rise in popularity of social media has made it easier for people to share their experiences with concussion. This has helped to destigmatize concussion and has made it more likely that people will seek help if they experience concussion symptoms.
