Abstract
Cases of brain injury can be subtle yet have lasting and very disabling psychiatric consequences including depression, post traumatic stress disorder, panic attacks and cognitive impairment interacting deleteriously with physical effects. We present a case and discuss important points for assessment and treatment in practice. This article is published with the patient's consent.
