Y1 - 2021 N1 - T2 - Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology: Principles and Practice AB - Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an exemplar of the advantages of a neuropsychiatric approach to the diagnosis and treatment of neurobehavioral disorders. The forces that act on the brain to cause neurotrauma typically result in a profile of regional brain damage that maps nicely onto the neuropsychiatric sequelae and functional distress commonly encountered by survivors of such injury. In turn, the effects of living with these neurobehavioral sequelae, including the meaning and the significance of being identified as “brain injured,” influence the quality of life of the individual and their caregivers. Failure to appreciate these complex but predictable relationships impedes the proper assessment and treatment of the individual with a TBI. This chapter reviews the current knowledge of the neurobiological effects of TBI, with special emphasis on how these processes inform the understanding of the clinical presentation and treatment of a person with neurobehavioral complications of neurotrauma.
