Abstract
The pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be highly variable, involving functional and/or structural damage to multiple neuroanatomical networks and neurotransmitter systems. This wide-ranging potential for physiologic injury is reflected in the diversity of neurobehavioral and neurocognitive symptoms following TBI. Here, we aim to provide a succinct, clinically relevant, up-to-date review on psychopharmacology for the most common sequelae of TBI in the postacute to chronic period. Specifically, treatment for neurobehavioral symptoms (depression, mania, anxiety, agitation/irritability, psychosis, pseudobulbar affect, and apathy) and neurocognitive symptoms (processing speed, attention, memory, executive dysfunction) will be discussed. Treatment recommendations will reflect general clinical practice patterns and the research literature.
