Abstract
This article reviews literature on the prevalence, course, risk factors, and functional impact associated with depression following mild and moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). Research conducted by the authors on depression in both young and elderly TBI patients is presented, supporting previous findings on the high frequency of affective disturbance and its adverse effects on activities of daily living. Treatment approaches emphasizing early patient education and counseling are discussed as potential strategies to mitigate the development of posttraumatic depression.
