"Traumatic brain injury is one of the major causes of death and disability in the U.S.," said Rachael Mattice, Managing Editor for the Sovereign Health Group." "Sovereign Health's Psychology Today collaborators Ralph Ryback, M.D., and Courtney Lopresti, M.S., take a closer look at traumatic brain injuries, their impact on those who do not pass away from the ailment and the long-term psychological distress many are afflicted with."

This new article follows two previous Sovereign Health editorials also posted to PsychologyToday.com within the past month: the first piece, "The Brain's Delicate Chemistry: What do sex addiction, self-harm and runner's high all have in common?," focuses on how chemicals in the brain communicate with other molecules that dictate neuroses and personality and how, when these chemicals go awry, the human brain changes. The second piece, "Land of the Free and Depressed: A look at the cost of depression in America ," focuses on depression in the United States and how a growing number of Americans measure success by the things they own as opposed to their relationships, resulting with dissatisfaction in their lives. Both of these articles are written by Dr. Ryback, Ms. Lopresti, as well as Kristen Fuller, M.D., senior staff writer at Sovereign Health Group.
