Can a mild brain injury create psychiatric problems?

 

A: Many individuals with a mild brain injury end up under psychiatric care. For some people the injury causes severe psychological reactions or triggers symptoms of an underlying psychiatric disease. There is a high likelihood of biochemical disruption that is related to the brain injury.

The psychiatrist or other mental health professionals need to be made aware of the person’s brain injury prior to the start of treatment. If individuals are experiencing symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in addition to their mild brain injury, their psychological abilities to respond to the issues created by their brain injury may be further impacted.
