Abstract

Mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are considered the "signature injuries" of combat soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Both disorders can greatly affect the functioning of soldiers, yet the disorders often go undetected or are misdiagnosed by both military and civilian health care providers. This article provides information about MTBI and PTSD in returning combat soldiers along with implications for assessment and diagnosis.
