TBI and Subsequent Disease

Reviewing over 20 years of TBI research, the study found a significant association of prior TBI with subsequent neurologic and psychiatric diagnosis. They found higher rates of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, mild impairment, depression and bipolar disorder in individuals with a previous TBI compared to those without TBI. Analysis of mild TBI found no evidence that multiple TBI’s were associated with higher odds of disease than a single TBI.
