Abstract

Psychiatric disorders after traumatic brain injury (TBI) are frequent. Researches in this area are important for the patients' care and they may provide hints for the comprehension of primary psychiatric disorders. Here we approach epidemiology, diagnosis, associated factors and treatment of the main psychiatric disorders after TBI. Finally, the present situation of the knowledge in this field is discussed.

Keywords: diagnostic; epidemiology; neuropsychiatry; pathophysiology; psychiatric disorders; traumatic brain injury.
