Inhaltsangabe

For healthcare professionals, Richard Roberts, a clinical neuropsychologist who has worked with adults with traumatic brain injury, and Mary Ann Roberts (pediatrics, U. of Iowa) discuss the assessment and treatment of adults and children with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) or brain concussion who do not fully recover within three to six months. They place these patients in a subgroup they call multisymptomatic intermittent neurobehavioral disorder (MIND), having intermittent or episodic symptoms that make diagnosis and treatment difficult. They discuss these symptoms through a case history, why these patients have trouble getting help, the research evidence, types of symptoms, and the use and practical aspects of mood stabilizers with anticonvulsant properties. They also address blast trauma as a risk factor, behavioral strategies and coping tips, and pediatric cases, and include the Iowa Interview for assessment.
