According to Healio (8/3, Herpen), “rates of new-onset mental health conditions were higher in U.S. soldiers with a history of military-related traumatic brain injury” (TBI), “while increased risk for suicide was both directly and indirectly associated with TBI history.” Investigators arrived at this conclusion after having examined data on “more than 860,000 U.S. soldiers, including more than 108,000 with history of” TBI. The findings were published online July 31 in JAMA Network Open.
