LINK BETWEEN TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY AND DEPRESSION DOCUMENTED
A new report out of the Journal of the American Medical Association has found that approximately half of the survivors of a traumatic brain injury, or a concussion, will experience clinical depression within one year after the injury. In fact, head trauma combined with depression causes significantly more pain, greater mobility problems and more difficulty in carrying out responsibilities than head trauma without depression.
Over one million American adults and children suffer from traumatic brain injuries each year. The symptoms of traumatic brain injuries include personality changes, memory and concentration problems, headaches and mood disturbances.
