ABSTRACT

In the United States, 1.7 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year, of whom 52,000 die and 275,000 are hospitalized. Societal costs of TBI total at least $10 billion. In this article, we review the current state of treatment and policy and make recommendations that would benefit TBI survivors with behavioral health comorbidities.
