I'm not sure if this is the answer your looking for.

A psychologist or neuro-psychologist or a psychiatrist can diagnose TBI.

A neurologist can also diagnose TBI.

On the other side, many mental dissorders such a depression, anxiaty, and some personality dissorders can be diagnosed as caused by(or secondary to) TBI.

yeah they got me diagnose with tbi, neuro psych got me diagnose with major dressive dissorder vs. dysthymic dissorder thx for the info very helpfull and thx again

BigAl,

You can get a copy of your VA medical records, and service medical records too, so you can see what has been diagnosed, and said.

Have you seen a neurologist yet?

BoonDoc
