BRAIN WOUND UPDATE #16: More Evidence: Untreated TBI ties to Cardiovascular, Endocrine, Neurological, and Psychiatric Disorders

BRINGING YOU CURRENT INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO HELP TREAT AND HEAL BRAIN WOUNDS: CONCUSSIONS, TBI, PTSD "There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they're falling in." Bishop Desmond Tutu At some point, DoD, the VA, and medicine in general will hear the drumbeat of data in peer-reviewed science attesting to the damage done by untreated brain wounds. Fortunately for those lucky few, the role of Hyperbaric Oxygenation to help treat and heal their brain wounds has given them new lives. But the practitioners of conventional medicine are not ready to accept facts and evidence. The DOD and the VA claim that the suicide epidemic is their #1 clinical priority, yet they drag their feet, avoiding using HBO therapy that virtually eliminates suicidal ideation. And they seem not to have read recent science about symptoms and "mental health" diagnoses that mask undiagnosed brain wounds. While the suicide epidemic continues to escalate, DOD and the VA spend more and more on strategies to think harder, collaborate more, pay attention, fund more Call Centers, and get the word out: precious little on healing brain wounds. Consider these recent reports. This report in JAMA, Association of Traumatic Brain Injury With the Risk of Developing Chronic Cardiovascular, Endocrine, Neurological, and Psychiatric Disorders, found that patients with mTBI and msTBI were at increased risk of developing long-term cardiovascular, endocrine, psychiatric, and neurological comorbidities. The risk of post-TBI comorbidities was higher in all age groups compared with an age-, sex-, and race-frequency–matched unexposed group, and notably so in patients younger than 40 years. Comorbidities after TBI were associated with higher mortality. Another JAMA study, Neuropathologic and Clinical Findings in Young Contact Sport Athletes Exposed to Repetitive Head Impacts, found that young contact sport athletes may be at risk for long-term neuropathologic disorders, including chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). This one bears reading by parents. A third study in the New England Journal of Medicine, Neuro-degenerative Disease Mortality among Former Professional Soccer Players, found that mortality from neurodegenerative disease was higher and mortality from other common diseases lower among former Scottish professional soccer players than among matched controls. Dementia-related medications were prescribed more frequently to former players than to controls. And an ironic report from Front Office Sports, the NFL court drama shows how little we've progressed from science-scepticism. In a bid to avoid reimbursing the NFL for payouts to brain wounded players, major insurers deployed medical experts to argue that there’s no scientific evidence linking head injuries with neurocognitive disorders, such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s, covered in the settlement. They further suggested that up to 40% of the now 1,663 former players who have received payments may have overstated and even feigned their symptoms. This tactic is mirrored in the behavior of DOD components that continue to discard combat veterans with the National Guard with Other Than Honorable Discharges and claims that the petitioners either weren't on active duty when they were injured, can't document injuries they were encouraged to not report to stay in the fight, or are faking their injuries. Of the five Defense Department service branches, only two met their active-duty enlisted recruiting goals for fiscal 2023 -- the Marine Corps and the Space Force, by far the smallest services and with the lightest recruiting burden. The others, the Army, Air Force and Navy, fell short. Coincidence? ########## The TreatNOW Mission is ending service member suicides. Along the way, we have learned that we can help heal the symptoms and effects of acute concussion/TBI/PTSD by helping heal brain wounds. Heal Brains. Stop Suicides. Restore Lives.

TRIGGER WARNING: The following deals with suicide and suicidal thoughts.

The Count

So I came close to killing myself a few days ago.

That’s really hard for me to say.

That’s really hard for me to admit.

It’s taken me this long to write about it.

In all my life, despite the horrors of my childhood and so many tragedies, I have only tried to kill myself once before.

After my car accident, when the doctors told me that I’d never walk again, and all that I knew about myself was my physical abilities, I tried to roll my wheelchair off a cliff. The woman that I loved, who had moved in with me to help me rehabilitate, who had the reflexes and the skills of a panther, grabbed me by my sweater. I don’t know how she got to me that fast. I was sure she was too far away to stop me and I didn’t hesitate. Not even a little. The wheelchair went over and she dragged me back from the edge.

A little over a year later I was walking.

And she died in a car accident.

Laura.

I didn’t even try to kill myself then.

I knew how she’d feel about that.

Suicide is giving up.

It’s taking a dive.

And I never took a dive in my whole life.

Except that once.

I sure tried to get other people to kill me. My father came close a bunch of times. My blood father. Not my step-father. My step-father, my real father, was a good man. My mother came after me with a knife a bunch of times. I’ve been shot at, stabbed, been in 14 car wrecks, and somehow I stayed standing.

I’ve been a fighter my whole life.

In the ring, on the matts, on the streets. My life was all about fighting.

And never, not once, except that one time, did I ever stay down or take a dive.

I was just too stubborn, too mean, to die.

But lately I’ve been facing an enemy I never expected to face.

Old age.

When I was a kid an old Gypsy woman, I mean a real authentic old Roma woman who was visiting my Tóta, my Grandmother, turned to look at me when I walked into my Tóta’s house and told me that I would die violently before I was 21. I believed her. Everything about my life told me it was unlikely that I’d make it even that far.

And she was actually right.

I died in that car accident that almost crippled me in Texas. I was clinically dead for a little over 2 minutes.

But I came back.

And, with the help of some very close friends, and the love of my life, I even learned to walk again, without a cane at that, despite doctors telling me it wasn’t possible.

I survived.

I’ve always been a survivor.

So many people that I loved didn’t make it, but I survived.

And somehow I got old.

I never expected to get old.

I really never expected to live this long.

And lately my memory is slipping and my body is failing me. I’ve lived a very full contact life. I’ve taken so many hits to the head that I couldn’t count them if I tried. I get seizures. I fall down. I forget where I am sometimes and even who I am. I’m in constant pain. My back if gone, my hips are gone, and I get blinding pain in my head like I’m being hit by lightning over and over again. There’s arthritis in my hands and my knees just to add some decoration. I suffer from terrible depression, crippling anxiety and PTSD. I spent most of my life refusing to even take aspirin fearing I’d be a drug addict like so many in my family and so many of those I grew up with on the Reservation and Housing Projects of my youth. Now I’m on so many meds I can hardly keep count. My friends and more than a few psychiatrists convinced me to do that after I had a full on breakdown.

I never calculated for this.

I never even conceived of ending up like this.

Getting old, particularly when you’ve live such a violent full contact life, is not for wimps.

And then, recently, I almost set fire to the house I’m living in. I could have killed those I loved just because I did something stupid, because I was stubborn and arrogant, and did not take into account the warnings, that my mind is slipping.

And that night I went down to the nearby Bluffs with every intention of jumping off into Lake Ontario. I sat there on the edge and said a silent apology to those I love and those I have loved and to my ancestors. I wasn’t afraid. I’ve never been afraid of dying.

I’ve always been afraid of life.

I’ve always been afraid of living.

My kind of cowardice is more subtle, much harder to see, much easier to deny than most.

I blow up relationships so that I won’t have to face any one person for too long, so that no one got to see how afraid I am of being alive.

I just expected my life to kill me before I had to face up to that.

While I was sitting on that precarious edge in the bitter cold a group of kids showed on the rocks below. There had to be at least 15 of them, breaking the Covid protocols, and spoiling my chance of dying unnoticed.

I waited, but they were drunk and they obviously weren’t going anywhere.

I got up and looked for another spot and almost walked right into two police cars sitting in a parking lot.

Cold and furious I went home punching myself in the face again and again, scratching myself with all my might. Tearing at my skin.

It’s what I do now when I’m angry. At other people. At myself.

What I used to do when I was a kid.

Beat up on myself.

I understand pain. That kind of pain. I’ve known that kind of pain since I was a little kid. I can take that kind of pain.

That kind of pain is like an old friend.

Its other kinds of pain, the pain of being alive, that I can’t take.

I went home thinking I’d do it the next night.

But the sorrow, the deep soul scarring anguish filled me up and there was nothing about me except the soul searing agony.

And, though I know the pain of finding someone I love dead from an O.D., I wanted so badly for it to just end, that I actually decided to overdose. It was selfish. It was cowardly. It was the worst thing I could do to those I love, but I just couldn’t see or feel anything except my own blinding pain.

I wrote a quick e-mail note to those close to me.

Sent it.

Posted an apology on Facebook.

It was late. I figured everybody was asleep. That they’d find it the next morning.

I started out by taking a bunch of pills. Not enough to kill me yet. I’m a pretty big guy. It would probably take more, but I figured I’d take enough to put me out first, say a final goodbye to my canine friend Benji, and then take a bunch more, enough to kill me, a bit later.

But I miscalculated.

I thought she’d be asleep by now, but Erin, the friend who lives with me, was still awake and she came upstairs to talk me out of it.

I knew it was wrong.

I knew it was a terrible thing to do to the people who I love and who love me.

It didn’t take all that much to make me feel ashamed for having even considered it.

I gave her the rest of the pills and slept it off.

I can’t say that the next day I wanted to be alive any more or that I wanted to be here when I woke up.

I can’t say that I’m in less pain or that I’m happier than I was that night.

My face is a mess. And Benji keeps jumping right onto my face. It really and truly hurts.

But Benji is one of those I would have abandoned if Erin had not stopped me.

I’m in a lot of physical pain and the emotional pain still fills me up.

But I can say that I’m not okay with taking a dive.

I can say that I’m not okay with hurting so many people.

The darkness, the pain, they’re still there. They’ve been with me my entire life.

But so are the people who care about me.

I’m still afraid of living.

I’m still afraid of growing old, of slipping into something that others will pity.

I’m still a coward in that way.

But today I’m not going to take that long dive.

I’m definitely not going to O.D. the way so many others that I cared about did.

It’s going to hurt, but I’m going to go another round.

One more round.

No more diving and no staying down for the count.

Not today.

Not this round.

Not this week.

We’ll see about next week. We’ll see about the next round.

But this round I’m staying on my feet.

This round I’ll take the pain.

This round I’ll face my fears.

I can do that much.

I’m still tough enough to do that much at least.

And who knows.

Maybe the next round won’t be so bad.

Or maybe I’ll just find the courage to face the next round.

Maybe even the one after that.

#JamesDonaldson On #MentalHealth – Disordered #Sleep Linked To Increased Risk Of #Suicide In #Youth

Emergency department records reveal that #youth experiencing disrupted #sleep are at greater risk for #suicidalthoughts and #behaviors Kenneth Bender, PharmD, MA Emergency department records reveal that #youth experiencing disrupted #sleep are at greater risk for #suicidalthoughts and #behaviors. #Youth who experience disrupted or disordered #sleep were found to be at increased risk for #suicidalthoughts and #behaviors, in a recent analysis of emergency department (ED) records.1 “Being aware of the impact of sleep disruption gives us an avenue to try to address sleep issues as well as downstream consequences,” explained study co-author, Melynda Casement, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Oregon, in an announcement of the study publication. “#Suicide is still stigmatized in many communities; sleep is less so,” she observed. "Identifying and treating #sleepdisorders could improve #mentalhealth and reduce #suiciderisk even if are not comfortable opening up about their #mentalhealthchallenges.” Casement and study co-author Jason Carbone, PhD, School of Social Work, Wayne State University, found previous studies which demonstrate that sleep disruptions predict #suicidalthoughts and #behaviors (STBs) in both youth and #adults, but none that have linked risk for STBs to sleep disorders in nationally representative samples of #youth. Casement and Carbone suggest that #adolescents are particularly susceptible to sleep-related STBs, with sleep deficits underlying impairments in cognition, affect, physiology, and social functioning. They attribute vulnerability in part to age-related circadian delays that conflict with sociocultural structures such as early #school days, and to the prevalence in this age group of difficulty initiating and maintaining sleep, and of sleep disorders such as #insomnia and delayed sleep phase disorder. Although sleep problems and disorders also predict psychiatric conditions such as #depression that can manifest STBs, the investigators indicate that associations between sleep problems and STBs are not fully attributable to psychiatric illness or other health conditions. #James Donaldson notes:Welcome to the “next chapter” of my life… being a voice and an advocate for #mentalhealthawarenessandsuicideprevention, especially pertaining to our younger generation of students and student-athletes.Getting men to speak up and reach out for help and assistance is one of my passions. Us men need to not suffer in silence or drown our sorrows in alcohol, hang out at bars and strip joints, or get involved with drug use.Having gone through a recent bout of #depression and #suicidalthoughts myself, I realize now, that I can make a huge difference in the lives of so many by sharing my story, and by sharing various resources I come across as I work in this space. #http://bit.ly/JamesMentalHealthArticleFind out more about the work I do on my 501c3 non-profit foundationwebsite www.yourgiftoflife.org Order your copy of James Donaldson's latest book,#CelebratingYourGiftofLife: From The Verge of Suicide to a Life of Purpose and Joy www.celebratingyourgiftoflife.com Casement elaborated on the interrelation in discussing the study with Psychiatric Times. “From the larger body of research, we know that sleep disorders and psychiatric disorders have bidirectional relations with one another—having a sleep disorder makes psychiatric disorders more likely, and having a psychiatric illness makes sleep disorders more likely. We also know that treatment for sleep disorders improves psychiatric health, and treatment for psychiatric disorders can improve sleep,” she said. “Future research will need to establish whether treatment for sleep disorders, including in #youth with #psychiatricdisorders, can reduce STBs,” Casement remarked. In designing their study, Casement and Carbone recognized that the relatively few individuals with STBs relative to sample sizes can frustrate investigations into the risk and protective factors for #suicide. Their approach to measuring correlation, albeit not causal link, between disordered sleep and STBs was to access nationwide health records of ED visits, which include reports of STBs and health risk factors, as well as diagnoses for sleep disorders. Discussing #SuicideRisk with #SleepDisorder The investigators identified presentations of suicidal ideation (SI) or of #suicideattempts (SA) among 65 million ED visits of individuals aged 6 to 24 years of age from the third quarter of 2015 through 2017 from those diagnostic codes in the Health Care Cost Utilization Project's Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS). They chose the start date to coincide with EDs in the US changing codes from International Classification of Diseases 9th to 10th revision. Complaints of sleep disorders were found in the coding for #insomnia, hypersomnia, circadian rhythm #sleepdisorders, #sleepapnea, narcolepsy, other sleep disorder or sleep disorder-unspecified. #Mentalhealth diagnoses for psychotic, affective, or substance use disorder were also compiled, as were multiple sociodemographic features. Casement and Carbone report that a sleep disorder was documented in only 0.32% of ED visits. That is in contrast, they note, with survey data showing a 9% prevalence of #insomnia among #adolescents in the US, and a 6% prevalence of probable sleep apnea. “Sleep disorders are massively underdiagnosed in #youth presenting to EDs relative to estimates of disorder prevalence in national surveys,” the investigators remarked. Although #sleepdisorders were detected in relatively few ED visits, they occurred in 2.91% (95% CI: 2.189-3.88) of ED visits with SI, and in 1.73% (1.30-2.28) of those with SA. #Mooddisorders were present in 3.84% of ED visits, and in the majority of those with SI (60.12%; 58.41-61.82) and SA (54.65%; 52.64-56.65). #Substanceusedisorders were present in 9.57% (9.10-10.05) of ED visits, and in 26.90% (25.69-28.15) of those with SI and 25.19% (23.18-26.62) with SA. #Psychoticdisorders were present in 0.56% of ED visits, and in 5.95% (5.57-6.41) with SI and 3.96% (3.53-4.65) of those with SA. The investigators calculated that #youth with any #sleepdisorder had more than 3 times the odds of having SI compared to individuals without a sleep disorder diagnosis (adjusted odds ratio =3.22; 2.61-3.98), and 66% greater odds (aOR=1.66; 1.43-1.94) when adjusting for comorbid affective, #substanceuse, and psychotic disorders. The odds of SI were 46% higher in youth with sleep and mood disorder diagnoses, and 47% higher with sleep and psychotic disorder, compared with those without a sleep disorder. “These results suggest that detection of SI in #youth presenting to EDs could improve with detection of #insomnia and hypersomnia diagnoses, independently or in addition to detection of #mooddisorders and psychotic disorders,” the investigators indicated. #Youth with any sleep disorder were at 48% higher risk for SA (aOR=1.48, 1.22-1.80) when psychiatric diagnoses were not accounted for, indicating to the investigators that detecting sleep disorders has value in predicting SA in the absence of information about psychiatric diagnoses. “Based on these results, we can say that sleep disorder diagnoses predict thoughts of death or a desire to die even when #psychiatric illness is accounted for, but sleep disorder diagnosis did not enhance prediction of #behaviors to kill oneself,” Casement commented. The apparent low rate of detecting disordered sleep in #patients presenting to the ED reflects a larger deficit in health care, according to Casement. She considers it a missed opportunity to address a key risk factor for STBs and accidental injury, the 2 leading causes of death and disability in #youth. “Health care training programs and accrediting bodies could improve the likelihood of accurate diagnosis for sleep disorders by requiring education on the high prevalence of sleep disorders, the impact of #sleepdisorders on #mental and physical health, and diagnosis and treatment of #sleepdisorders,” Casement suggested. Dr Bender reports on medical innovations and advances in practice and edits presentations for news and professional education publications. He previously taught and mentored pharmacy and medical #students, and provided and managed pharmacy care and drug information services. Photo by cottonbro studio on Pexels.com Read the full article
