4 3/9/15 Trauma6c Brain Injury TraumaBc Brain Injury (TBI) is an insult to the brain caused by an external force that may produce a diminished or altered state of consciousness. Causes of TBI can include falls, motor vehicle crashes, sports injuries, assaults, blast injuries. Acquired Brain Injury Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) is an injury to the brain which is not hereditary, congenital or degenera6ve and has occurred aoer birth. Causes of ABI include anoxia, aneurysms, infec6ons to the brain, stroke, brain tumors. BRAIN INJURY - IOWA: Iowa Code: IAC (249A) - Brain injury means clinically evident damage to the brain resul6ng directly or indirectly from trauma, infec6on, anoxia, vascular lesions or tumor of the brain, not primarily related to degenera6ve or aging processes, which temporarily or permanently impairs a person s physical, cogni6ve, or behavioral func6ons. The person must have a diagnosis from the following list: Does not demand evidence from imaging Is not degenera6ve or aging related (n.d.). Retrieved March 3, 2015, from hips:// pdf 4

6 3/9/15 Mental Health issues and Brain Injury It is es6mated that prevalence rates for co- morbid psychiatric disorders in ABI may be as high as 44% (Hibbard, et al, 1998). Defini6ons Depression Depression - APA Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that nega6vely affects the way that people feel, the way they think and how they act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Medical condi6ons (e.g., thyroid, a brain tumor or vitamin deficiency) can mimic symptoms of depression so it is important to rule out general medical causes. So you need a licensed provider to make this diagnosis. But YOU can screen 2015, American Psychiatric Associa6on 6

7 3/9/15 Depression Causes aoer BI Physical Changes in the brain Depression may result from injury to areas of the brain that control emo6ons. Changes in the levels of certain natural chemicals (neurotransmiiers) can cause depression. Depression Causes aoer BI Emo6onal Response to Injury Depression may arise as a person struggles to adjust to temporary or las6ng disability, losses or role change within their family or their communi6es. Depression Causes aoer BI Factors unrelated to injury Some people have a higher risk for depression due to inherited genes, personal or family history, and/or other influences that existed before the injury. 7

PHQ 2 Pre- Screening Tool for Depression Two (2) just two ques6ons to consider! 1.During the past month, have you oeen been bothered by feeling down, depressed, or hopeless? Yes No 2.During the past month, have you oeen been bothered by ligle interest or pleasure in doing things? Yes No. PHQ 2 - Screening and referral If the response is yes to either ques6on, consider referring to a LHCP for more considera6on for possible depression. If the response to both ques6ons is no, the screen is nega6ve. 8
