Excerpt

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with a wide variety of symptoms that impact cognition and emotional health. The vast majority of TBI incurred in the United States and across the world are of the mild severity (MTBI). Symptoms after MTBI are generally regarded as transient. Common symptoms include sensory and somatic symptoms (headache, blurred vision, dizziness, sleep problems), neurobehavioral and cognitive complaints (subjective memory problems, poor concentration, slowed information processing, and other cognitive difficulties), and neuropsychiatric complaints related to emotional difficulties (irritability, depression, anxiety).,
