Marine Corps veteran and retired police officer from Oak Lawn, Illinois, still recalls the rocket attack in Iraq in 2004 that slammed him into a concrete wall, leaving him with a large bump on his head. At the time, Miller, a gunnery sergeant, was more concerned with the Marines in his unit than his own injuries. Despite developing severe headaches and cognitive issues, Miller says he toughed it out.

In 2010, after contemplating suicide, he finally sought help and was diagnosed with a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) and severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). He learned that some of his TBI-symptoms, including his migraines and memory loss, were triggers for his mood swings and other behaviors. Miller was prescribed multiple medications, began therapy, and learned various coping techniques.

Since then, studies of returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan have found that veterans who sustained concussions during their tours of duty had a higher risk of developing PTSD, as noted the 2016 book Translational Research in Traumatic Brain Injury. But the dual diagnosis isn’t just found in military personnel: The National Center for PTSD notes that PTSD can also develop in noncombat settings following traumatic events, such as assault.

“It’s normal to have stress reactions following something traumatic,” says Lisa Moy Martin, RN, chief of clinical translation for the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center in Silver Spring, Maryland. In the usual process of integrating trauma into that person’s life experience, these reactions should subside, she explains. If they don’t, they may indicate PTSD.

Because many symptoms of PTSD are similar to those of a concussion, making the distinction may rely on context, Moy Martin explains. For example, sleep issues due to nightmares would point to PTSD, but if someone’s having racing thoughts that interfere with sleep, that would more likely be TBI-related, she notes. Symptoms common to both PTSD and TBIs include:Difficulty sleepingDifficulty concentratingDepressionAngerAnxiety One recent study found that certain factors predicted whether people who’d been diagnosed with a TBI later developed PTSD.

The study, published in January 2017 in the Journal of Neurotrauma, focused on adult civilians who’d been to the emergency department and been diagnosed with a TBI. They were evaluated for PTSD symptoms six months later, which is when TBI tends to peak, as noted in the study. Close to 27 percent of participants were found to have PTSD, and nearly all of the people in this group were still experiencing TBI-related symptoms at the six-month mark.

“It’s only when you try to go back to work or school that you may really start noticing this,” she says. The study also showed that victims of assault, which generally involves more psychological trauma compared with other TBI causes, such as falling or being in a car crash, were more likely to be in this group.

In one recent study, published in August 2016 in the International Journal of Psychophysiology, researchers found that electroencephalograms (EEGs) showed promise in differentiating between concussions and PTSD. The study participants were all active-duty military personnel or veterans who had been exposed to a blast while deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan.

The EEGs, which measure the brain’s electrical activity using electrodes placed on the scalp, showed different brain wave patterns in participants with concussions than in those with PTSD, and also found that these brain wave patterns involved different areas of the brain. Concussions were associated with an increase in low-frequency brain wave forms.

Essentially, an underaroused state was associated with concussions, while a hyperaroused state was associated with PTSD. These results still need to be confirmed more broadly, but could potentially be used to tailor treatments based on the EEG profile, Dr. Walker says.

“But because the two can have similar neurobehavioral symptoms, it can be difficult to distinguish between them based on symptoms alone.” <h2>Treatment and Recovery From PTSD and TBI</h2> In some cases, people who have been diagnosed with PTSD following a TBI may be prescribed medication to address specific symptoms, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which can be helpful in treating depression and anxiety, notes Moy Martin. Nonmedication alternatives, including cognitive processing therapy (CPT) and prolonged exposure (PE) therapy, have also both been found useful in treating TBIs and PTSD, according to the National Center for PTSD. Moy Martin also recommends seeking out support groups.
