If someone is in a coma, he is unconscious and will not respond to voices, other sounds, or any sort of activity going on around him. He is still alive, but his brain is functioning at its lowest stage of alertness. You can't shake and wake up someone who is in a coma like you can to someone who has just fallen asleep.
Usually, a coma does not last more than a few weeks. Sometimes, however, a person stays in a coma for a long time - even years - and will be able to do very little except breathe on his own.
Most people do come out of comas, however. Some of them are able to return to the normal lives they had before they got sick. On TV, someone in a coma usually wakes up right away, looks around, and is able to think and talk normally. But in real life, this rarely happens. When a person comes out of a coma, he will often be confused and can only slowly respond to what's going on around him. It will take time for him to start feeling better.
Over time and with the help of therapists, however, many people who have been in a coma can make a lot of progress. They may not be exactly like they were before the coma, but they can do a lot of things and enjoy life with their family and friends.
