A concussion can occur when a person is struck in the head or takes a hit to the body that moves the head forcefully. Concussions can cause cognitive (thinking), physical, emotional and sleep-related symptoms and every concussion can present differently. Fortunately, not all contact to the head results in a concussion but it is important to look for any signs or symptoms of concussion after contact.
