MSC1102H: Psychiatric Implications of Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has become very popular in the fields of neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, and in the media. Most studies suggest that 50% of TBIs are not reported and thus go untreated. Despite this, most people are unaware that the risk for psychiatric disorders can double following a TBI. Thus, a team of two psychiatrists and a neuroscientist will present a module on the psychiatric sequalae following TBI. The course will examine six main psychiatric issues associated with TBI: depression, anxiety, addiction, agitation, aggression, and the stigma associated. Each session will utilize didactic, interactive, multimedia elements, and group activities to explore diagnostic, neurological, and management issues associated with TBI.
