The greater percentage of psychiatric patients reporting TBI indicates the need to assess TBI in this population. The role of TBI in the emergence, expression and treatment outcome of psychiatric disorders and the risk factors that leave psychiatric patients vulnerable to TBI should ...Continue Reading
