Neurology Advisor (7/29, Khaja) reports, “Traumatic brain injury (TBI) may potentially increase the risk for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, with varying effects depending on age, sex, and severity, according to study results.” Investigators undertook “an observational study combining a population-based approach, nested case-control, and sibling comparison design to explore the link between TBI and later bipolar disorder and schizophrenia diagnoses, investigate if there is a correlation influenced by TBI severity, and assess potential moderating effects of demographic and familial factors.” The findings were published in Psychiatry Research.
