20 Injuries as Risk Factors Trauma9c Brain Injury In9mate Partner Violence Suicide Risk

21 Trauma9c Brain Injury & Suicide

22 Trauma9c Brain Injury Defined A blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the function of the brain

23 Trauma Defined Psychological Trauma: a deeply distressing or disturbing experience. An experience that produces psychological injury or pain. Physical Trauma: Also known as "injury", is a physiological wound caused by an external source. It can also be described as "a physical wound or injury, such as a fracture or blow".

24 TBI as a Risk Factor for Suicide Trauma1c brain injury is associated with substan1ally elevated risks of premature mortality, par1cularly for suicide, injuries, and assaults, even ader adjustment for sociodemographic and familial factors. Fazel 2014 The risk for commiung suicide is two to four 1mes greater for individuals with TBI than for the general popula1on. Even mild brain injury increases risk. Center for Substance Abuse Treatment 2010

25 TBI and Suicide: Co- Occurring Risk Factors Substance Abuse Can lead to TBI Oden co- occurs with suicidality Can be a symptom of sustaining a TBI When a psychiatric disorder or SUD cooccurs with TBI, the risk for attempted or completed suicide is further increased. Center for Substance Abuse Treatment 2010
