TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - The manifestation of anxiety disorders after traumatic brain injury: A review JO - Journal of neurotrauma A1 - Mallya, Sasha A1 - Sutherland, Jessica A1 - Pongracic, Syb A1 - Mainland, Brian A1 - Ornstein, Tisha Joy SP - 411 EP - 421 VL - 32 IS - 7 N2 - The development of anxiety disorders following a traumatic brain injury is a strong predictor of social, personal, and work dysfunction; nevertheless, the emergence of anxiety has been largely unexplored and poorly understood in the context of TBI. This paper provides an overview of the limited published research to date on anxiety disorders that are known to develop following TBI, including post-traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, specific phobia, and social anxiety disorder. This review also examines diagnostic criteria, the epidemiology of each disorder, and the factors that influence the expression of these conditions, including injury-related and psychosocial variables. Putative neural correlates will be reviewed where known. A discussion of current treatment options and avenues for further research are explored.
