APATHY WIDESPREAD AMONG THOSE WITH TBI [ back to What's New ]
A recent survey has shown that apathy is more widespread among survivors of TBI than depression and may create an even greater obstacle to successful return to work, successful psychotherapy or successful re-integration into the community. Families of survivors who detect apathy in their injured member, should bring this to the attention of their loved one's treating physician. The survey showed that apathy was more likely to afflict the young TBI survivors than the older one's, but no age group was immune.
