Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Traumatic Brain Injury and Mental Health in Children and Adolescents" by Maria Butler, Psy.D. and Stephanie Terracciano, Psy.D..
This medical PowerPoint presentation discusses how children and adolescents who experience a traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be at increased risk for a range of mental health issues.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can have significant impacts on the mental health of children and adolescents. TBI occurs when a blow or jolt to the head disrupts normal brain function. This can lead to a range of physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms, and can have lasting effects on an individuals mental health.
Children and adolescents who experience a TBI may be at increased risk for a range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance abuse. These conditions can be particularly challenging for young people, as they can impact their ability to develop social and emotional skills, succeed academically, and engage in healthy relationships.

Slide 2-

Agenda Overview of TBI in children and adolescents Cognitive, behavioral, and social effects Effects on family functioning Factors influencing presentation Child variables, age at injury, contextual, injury variables, family environment Intervention
Slide 3-

Types of Brain Injury
Slide 4-

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) “A TBI is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2016) A leading cause of disability and death in children and teens (Thurman, 2014)
Slide 5-

Risk Factors For TBI Sports: Contact sports Age: Children and elderly Sex: Males between the ages of 15 and 30 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2016)
Slide 6-

(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2016)
Slide 7-

Classification System of TBI Severity (Bodin & Yeates, 2010)
Slide 8-

Cognitive Problems Problem solving Comprehension of abstract language Word retrieval Expressive language organization Pragmatics (Yeates et al., 2002) Executive functions Memory Attention Concentration Information processing Sequencing
Slide 9-

Cognitive Impairments Tend to improve slowly (6-18 months) with greatest rate of improvement in first 12 months Kids often deny their cognitive problems due to lack of insight May not be noticeable to others which may cause anxiety or frustration (Yeates et al., 2002)
Slide 10-

Behavioral and Emotional Changes May occur as direct result of injury Inability to express him/herself appropriately Decreased language production Concrete thinking and poor insight may interfere with compliance or ability to respond to interventions Frustration about being in the hospital and missing family Loss of former self (Li & Liu, 2013)
Slide 11-

Emotional Lability Resulting from new deficits in executive control and a lowered frustration tolerance Result in the loss of emotional sensitivity to others and ability to modulate high emotions and behavior Feelings are generally appropriate with exception of brief episodes of strong affective expression (Lezak, Howieson, Bigler, & Tranel, 2012)
Slide 12-

Externalizing Behavior Problems Inattention, disinhibition, distractibility, etc. 30-50% of children developed symptoms after TBI (Schachar, Levin, Max, Purvis, & Chen, 2004) Learning and generalizing behavioral strategies may be more challenging Aggression and conduct problems (Ganesalingam, Sanson, Anderson, & Yeates, 2007; Li & Liu, 2013)
Slide 13-

Internalizing Problems: Anxiety Anxiety, obsessions, and compulsions are common Internalizing symptoms are more likely to emerge six months after TBI than other medical traumas Cognitive problems associated with TBI mimic OCD symptoms. Perseveration due to executive dysfunction Damage to similar brain areas are implicated in primary OCD and OCD after TBI - frontal and subcortical regions (Konigs et al., 2016; Li & Liu, 2013; Luis & Mittenberg, 2002)
Slide 14-

Internalizing Problems: Depression Lack of energy, irritability, agitation, etc. Hard to differentiate between symptoms of TBI vs. somatic manifestations of depression Depression increased baseline → 6 months → 1 year (Kirkwood et al., 2000) As physical and cognitive symptoms decrease, psychiatric concerns may worsen (Noggle & Pierson, 2010)
Slide 15-

Internalizing Problems: Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorders Overlap of symptoms between PTSD and TBI PTSD symptoms at 1 year associated with self-reported anxiety and depression one month after the injury (Gerring et al., 2002) Emotional reactivity symptoms more common than re-experiencing symptoms due to posttraumatic amnesia (Luis & Mittenberg, 2002)
Slide 16-

Personality Change Examples: Social insensitivity or hypersensitivity, emotional dulling/blunting, mild euphoria with diminished anxiety Occurs in up to 60% of patients with severe TBI (Max, Robertson, & Lansing, 2001) Persistent personality change 2 years after severe TBI is associated with IQ but not psychosocial variables Apathy different from loss of interest associated with depression (Max et al., 2006)
Slide 17-

Social Effects Decline in social function following TBI with limited improvement one year post-injury (Rivara et al., 1993) TBI between ages 6 and 12 years associated with deficits in higher order problem solving and social reasoning skills four years post-injury (Janusz, Kirkwood, Yeates, & Taylor, 2002) Associated with injury to frontal lobes which achieve maturation in mid-20s At risk for peer rejection, victimization, substance use, etc. (Bigler, 2013; DeRosier & Lloyd, 2010; Mayes et al., 2015)
Slide 18-

Effects of TBI on Family Increases risk for psychological symptoms in family Family goes through grieving process when recovery slows down and child starts to miss expected developmental milestones Sibling reactions to TBI Jealousy, anger, behavioral problems (Potter et al., 2011; Root et al., 2016; Wade et al., 2008)
Slide 19-

Factors Influencing Post-Injury Presentation Children’s brains are in a constant state of change and development During periods of rapid growth, the brain may actually be more vulnerable to damage (e.g., TBI, anoxia, or toxins) Injury impacts skills currently in the process of being acquired as well as those skills that have yet to be developed (Anderson, Spencer-Smith, & Wood, 2011; Garcia et al., 2015; Li & Liu, 2013)
Slide 20-

Factors Influencing Post-Injury Presentation: Course of Symptoms Although adults normally exhibit symptoms days to months after an injury, a child may not exhibit deficits until years post injury When children reach a stage of greater autonomy and higher cortical demands, deficits may be magnified Greatest challenges are typically seen in ability to learn new information and develop socially appropriate behaviors (Anderson, Spencer-Smith, & Wood; 2011; Garcia et al., 2015; Li & Liu, 2013)
Slide 21-

Factors Influencing Post-Injury Presentation: Course of Recovery (Chapman, 2006)
Slide 22-

Factors Influencing Post-Injury Presentation: Age Under age 6 years = more internalizing behaviors Age 6 years or older = more externalizing symptoms Adolescents = higher incidence of BOTH internalizing and externalizing behaviors Pre-morbid functioning is a strong predictor of post-injury functioning (Dykeman, 2003; Geraldina et al., 2003)
Slide 23-

Factors Influencing Post-Injury Presentation: Contextual Family Resources Strong family support and good family mental health are correlated with resilience Lack of family resources (e.g., low SES) is correlated with poorer social and cognitive outcomes (Holland & Schmidt, 2015)
Slide 24-

Factors Influencing Post-Injury Presentation: Contextual Parenting Style Punitive and permissive parenting Correlated with higher incidence of behavioral problems and poorer cognitive outcomes following TBI (Li & Liu, 2013) Warm parenting Correlated with fewer internalizing and externalizing behaviors (Wade et al., 2011) Favorable parent behaviors do not show a moderating effect on behavior 12-18 months post-injury (Yeates, Taylor, Walz, Stancin, & Wade, 2010)
Slide 25-

Factors Influencing Post-Injury Presentation: Contextual Family Functioning both pre- and post-injury Family coping style and ability to manage the injury are stronger predictors of recovery in comparison to quality of family environment pre-injury (Li & Liu, 2013) Family Environment Chronic family stress correlated with higher incidence of long-term social issues
Slide 26-

Factors Influencing Post-Injury Presentation: Contextual Variables Injury Variables – type and severity Duration of coma, PTA, and alteration in consciousness may inform neurobehavioral outcome (Yeates, 2010) Lesion burden correlates with morbidity (Babikian & Asarnow, 2009)
Slide 27-

Rehabilitation following TBI Intervention should be initiated as soon as possible Requires a multidisciplinary approach Goals are to: Improve function Maximize potential Prepare for community and school re-entry Train skills necessary for future learning (Penn, Rose, & Johnson, 2009; Thomas, Apps, Hoffman, McCrea, & Hammeke, 2015)
Slide 28-

Reduce Overstimulation Turn down lights Close door to room No electronic stimulation (no phones, computer, television) Turn down/off radio Limit number of visitors Speak one at a time in a low, slow voice Provide simple direction and provide time for response – you may need to repeat Do not argue with the child
Slide 29-

Psychological Treatment Individual and family approach Intervention should be individualized (e.g., CBT) Consider psychiatric comorbidities and pre-existing mental health problems Environment should promote positive behaviors (Noggle & Pierson, 2010; Warschausky, Kewman, & Kay, 1999)
Slide 30-

Family Support Address impact of TBI on family Help family understand changes in child Provide education about needs both in community and at school (Semrud-Clikeman, 2010)
Slide 31-

Family Interventions Resources: Obtaining information about educational programs or community agencies that may facilitate their child’s recovery. Help to foster a home-school partnership Self-care: Encouraging parents to use resources such as respite care when necessary Ensure parents that it is not an “all or none” process (Semrud-Clikeman, 2010)
Slide 32-

Return to School Children may be incorrectly perceived similarly to those with learning disabilities There may not be consistent overall patterns of deficits as seen in individuals with learning disabilities Weaknesses in attention and behavioral regulation may be more evident Teach emotional regulation as child may be more prone to temper outbursts or stress The child may need information simplified The child may not understand that what they do leads to something else (Dykeman, 2003) Individualized Education Program (IEP) should be in place
