“…The prevalence of anxiety in these older populations was, however, lower in TBI and higher in stroke (32,33). A recent study of young, middle-aged and older adults with TBI living in the community found that older adults (60-64 years) experienced less anxiety than young (20-24 years) and middle-aged (40-44 years) adults (37). A possible explanation for this is the inability to maintain established roles in society, such as employment and providing for a family, due to TBIrelated disabilities in the younger adults (38,39).…”

“…A remarkable finding is that the TBI studies in our review, which reported depression and anxiety, did not report how many patients with anxiety also had depression. Anxiety was found to be highly co-morbid with depression in a study of young, middle-aged and older adults with TBI (37). In their review, Lecrubier concludes that depression and anxiety are often co-morbid which causes greater disability and imposes a greater burden on the patients' daily lives and on healthcare services (45).…”

Prevalence of neuropsychiatric symptoms and psychotropic drug use in patients with acquired brain injury in long-term care: a systematic review

Objective: Little is known about the prevalence of neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) and psychotropic drug use (PDU) in patients below the age of 65 years with acquired brain injury (ABI) in long-term care. The objective of this study was to review the literature about the prevalence of NPS and PDU. Methods: A systematic literature search of English, Dutch and German articles in Pubmed, EMBASE, PsycINFO and CINAHL was performed with the use of MeSH and free-text terms. Results: Six articles met the inclusion criteria. The place of residence was mainly a nursing home and most studies were conducted in a population of patients with traumatic brain injury. Sample sizes varied from 40 to 26,472 residents and NPS were assessed with different assessment instruments. Depressive symptoms were most common with a prevalence ranging from 13.9% to 39.3%. Two studies reported PDU in which tranquillizers (59%) were the most prevalent psychotropic drugs followed by anticonvulsants (35%) and antidepressants (26-34%). Conclusions: Patients with ABI experience lifelong consequences, regardless the cause of ABI, that have a high impact on them and their surroundings. More insight into the magnitude of NPS and PDU, through prevalence studies, is necessary to achieve suitable provision of care for these patients.

“…A visual representation of our theoretical proposition is presented in Figure 1. As demonstrated, it is speculated that TBI during adolescence is associated with an increased prevalence of adverse psychological effects (i.e., the co‐occurrence of negative psychological effects that make it more difficult to function in social settings; Osborn, Mathias, Fairweather‐Schmidt, & Anstey, 2017). In turn, higher levels of adverse psychological effects are associated with higher levels of subsequent aggressive offending (Beaver, Boutwell, Barnes, Vaughn, & DeLisi, 2017; Vaughn, Salas‐Wright, DeLisi, & Perron, 2014; Veeh, Renn, Vaughn, & DeLisi, 2018).…”

Contemporary scholarship has demonstrated an association between traumatic brain injury (TBI) during adolescence and aggressive offending. Research, however, has yet to identify any mechanisms linking TBI to subsequent aggressive offending. Consequently, the current study hypothesized that adverse psychological effects is one such pathway. The current study used the Pathways to Desistance data set (n = 416) to examine the pathway of TBI to aggressive offending through adverse psychological effects. The findings of the structural equation model supported the hypothesized association. Specifically, increased exposure to TBI was indirectly associated with aggressive offending through adverse psychological effects. An additional supplemental analysis illustrated that a direct link between TBI and aggressive offending did not exist for the analytical sample. The findings suggested that the neurological disruptions commonly associated with TBI could result in direct increases in negative psychological outcomes and indirect increases in subsequent negative behavioral outcomes.

“…General factors that an individual with anxiety may report include decreased thinking skills, fatigue, and anger or irritability affecting home life and community life (school, work or general community environments). Osborn et al (2016) reports that "young adults had a consistent prevalence of clinically-significant anxiety than middle and older-aged adults, highlighting the stressors associated with this time of life (e.g., establishing careers, relationships)" (Osborn et al, 2016, p. 7). It is important for doctors, therapists and psychological staff to screen patients with stroke for anxiety in order to best manage anxiety and provide the individual with the best recovery chances (Donnellan et al, 2010(Donnellan et al, , 1293.…”
