June is PTSD Awareness Month

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are often discussed separately, but for many Veterans, service members, and first responders, they occur together.

Why?

The same event that causes a brain injury, such as a blast exposure, vehicle accident, fall, or other traumatic incident, can also be psychologically distressing. In addition, changes in the brain caused by TBI can affect emotional regulation, stress responses, and coping skills, making recovery even more complex.

TBI and PTSD also share many symptoms, including:
• Difficulty concentrating and memory problems
• Irritability and mood changes
• Anxiety and depression
• Sleep disturbances and fatigue
• Social withdrawal and feeling disconnected

At the same time, there are important differences.

Symptoms more commonly associated with TBI include headaches, dizziness, and sensitivity to light or noise. PTSD is more often characterized by flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, and feelings of shame or guilt related to a traumatic experience.

Because these conditions can overlap so significantly, accurate diagnosis and integrated treatment are critical.

At the Marcus Institute for Brain Health, our interdisciplinary team addresses both the physical and psychological impacts of trauma, helping patients understand what they're experiencing and providing the tools needed to move forward.

Healing begins with understanding.

While approximately 3.6% of U.S. adults experience PTSD in a given year, rates among Veterans can reach 20% following combat deployments, and as many as one in seven first responders experience PTSD related to their work.

Behind every statistic is a person who answered the call to serve others.

At the Marcus Institute for Brain Health, we provide individualized, evidence-based care for Veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders living with the invisible wounds of traumatic brain injury and psychological health conditions. Through our interdisciplinary approach, we help patients regain confidence, reconnect with their families, and rediscover purpose.
