Traumatic brain injury (TBI) may influence the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following a traumatic event
Following a traumatic event, several factors influence whether an individual develops PTSD. TBI may influence the likelihood of an individual developing PTSD following a traumatic event by compromising the ability of an individual to psychologically adjust to a traumatic event. While combat mild TBI appears to increase the likelihood of PTSD developing, severe TBI may reduce the likelihood of PTSD developing. |
