Abstract

Thirteen patients who experienced problems with irritability and aggression following closed head injury (CHI) participated in a non-blind, 8 week open trial and sertraline HCl. Significant reduction in irritability and aggressive outbursts was observed. No significant changes were observed in depressive symptomatology. Results suggest that serotonergic agents may be useful in treating aggression and irritability after head injury. Further placebo-controlled studies using serotonergic agents are indicated.
