Traumatic Brain Injury In Children Is Linked To Higher Rates Of Anxiety, Depression, Headaches & Chronic Pain
Children and adolescents ages 6 to 17 who experienced a traumatic brain injury (TBI) had higher odds of developing anxiety, depression, headaches, or chronic pain compared to children without TBI, according to a new cross-sectional study.
The odds of anxiety were 1.87 times higher among those with TB, while the odds of depression were 1.98 times higher. The odds of frequent headaches were 7.76 times higher, and the odds of chronic pain were 3.99 times higher.
Children in families with more factors of resilience and child flourishing were less likely to experience adverse post-TBI . . .
