Abstract

Traumatic brain injury is a clinical situation that
generally affects young people aged 45 years or younger and causes mortality
and critical functional losses. The most common psychiatric disorder following taumatic
brain injury is depression. Although the relationship between depression and
organic diseases has been studied a lot, there is less data about mania.
Secondary mania differs from primary mania with advanced beginning age, absence
of family history, more difficult and slower response to treatment; and
secondary mania usually has no recurrence. In this report, secondary mania and
its clinical features are discussed in light of a mood disorder following a
trauma case. The case is still followed with mood stabilizer treatment and the
patient is euthymic.
