Sports Injuries

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and Sequelae

Sports injuries often involve head trauma such as concussions, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and mood disorders.

Dr. Stalberg provides opinions on the causation of psychiatric injury, the assessment of disability, and treatment needs.

Many professional athletes suffer from mood disorders as a result of their subjective failure to achieve their lifelong athletic goals.

Forced retirement based on age or injury is also very stressful.
