TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - What is post-traumatic stress disorder? JO - Dialogues in clinical neuroscience A1 - Andreasen, Nancy C. SP - 240 EP - 243 VL - 13 IS - 3 N2 - Although post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are categorized as separate and discrete disorders, the boundary between them is sometimes indistinct. Their separation is based on the assumption that PTSD results primarily from psychological stress, while TBI is the consequence of an identifiable injury to the brain. This distinction is based on an antiquated polarity between mind and brain, and the separation of the two disorders often becomes arbitrary in day-to-day psychiatric practice and research.
