This is a part of the Hot Topic podcast series from the Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center on TBI and Depression. Dr. Chuck Bombardier discusses Get Back to Doing Enjoyable Things to Combat Depression.
So with people with more severe TBI, they do have greater limitations. So what I like to ...
What is the study about?
This project aims to develop a case definition and diagnostic criteria for post-traumatic confusional state (PTCS) following traumatic brain injury (TBI). The study describes clinical findings that establish a diagnosis of PTCS. Second, the study presents criteria for describing recovery from severe states of altered consciousness, ...
This is a part of the Hot Topic podcast series from the Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center on TBI and Depression. Dr. Chuck Bombardier discusses Stigma of Depression as a Barrier to Treatment.
