Divergent manifestations of irritability in patients with mild and moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury: Perspectives of awareness and neurocognitive correlates

Abstract

Irritability was found to be prominent after TBI. Divergent causes of irritability seemed apparent in patients with mTBI and msTBI. Irritability after mTBI appeared might be related to the cognitive functions disrupted after the injury, whereas irritability after msTBI appeared to result directly from the brain lesions involved.
