HealthDay (10/17, Reinberg) reports, “Women are more likely to develop depression after suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI),” investigators concluded after analyzing data from “nine published studies” that “included nearly 700,000 people.” The systematic review revealed that “the risk for depression among women after a TBI was nearly 50% higher than it is for men.” The findings were presented Monday at the annual meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists.
