TBI in McNews

USA Today had an article recently about traumatic brain injury (TBI) in veterans. In typical USAT fashion, the topic is very superficially covered — personality changes (the kind of things that might turn a law-abiding citizen into a criminal) are mentioned only in passing:

They may be depressed, irritable and confused, and easily provoked or distracted.

Better shallow coverage of TBI than none at all.

For a more thorough rundown of the personality and character changes that TBI can cause, please see this post. For my posts so far on TBI, please see this list.
