The factsheet describes what anxiety is, how anxiety can develop after brain injury, where to get professional support with this issue and offers self-help tips for coping with anxiety.
With research suggesting that up to a third of brain injury survivors experience anxiety, it is vital that people are made aware of the possible impact of anxiety after brain injury, and more importantly, how to cope with it. We hope that this factsheet is a helpful guide to these issues, and a valuable resource for survivors and carers.
The factsheet has been written with expert input from people directly affected by brain injury themselves, and Consultant Clinical Neuropsychologists Dr Ben Marram and Dr Lisa Logue. Many thanks to all contributors to this factsheet.
Dr Marram said, "We are delighted to share the updated Anxiety after brain injury factsheet, produced in collaboration with survivors and clinicians working in brain injury. We recognise the prevalence and impact anxiety has on survivors and their families, and hope this factsheet provides some helpful guidance on what can help, or where to get more information if you feel like you need more support".
