People who suffer concussions or mild traumatic brain injuries are twice as likely to commit suicide compared to their peers who don’t, according to a new research paper.
Researchers at the University of Toronto analyzed data on more than 700,000 patients across 17 studies to clarify what we know about concussions, since it is now a top talking point but research is moving slowly.
The team found no evidence that would alleviate concerns about concussions, and one of the studies they analyzed showed a blow to the head triples the risk of suicide.
