Executive Dysfunction, Disinhibition, and Depressive Symptoms Following Moderate-Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: a Focus on Aging Traumatic Brain Injury Patients

Ruarai Field-Gibson, Saatvik Kambhampati, Marco Pansarella and Sai Giri

This research examined how depressive symptoms, and self-reported executive dysfunction would interact within an aging sample of moderate/severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. Exploratory moderation analyses were carried out to discern the nature of the factors’ interactions. The research holds important implications in furthering understanding of the mechanisms behind depressive symptomatology incidence, the most prevalent psychiatric complication, in aging TBI patients.
