Posttraumatic stress disorder is associated with further increased Parkinson disease risk in veterans with traumatic brain injury

 An incredibly simple question for your doctor to answer, NOT DEFLECT. What are the protocols to treat PTSD post stroke? And if treated does that lessen your chance of Parkinsons? Yes, this is for TBI but if your doctor can't extrapolate to stroke then you are screwed.

Maybe some of these. Which ones are your doctors using? Or don't they know about them? DO YOU PREFER YOUR INCOMPETENCE NOT KNOWING OR NOT DOING? OR BOTH?

Posttraumatic stress disorder is associated with further increased Parkinson disease risk in veterans with traumatic brain injury

Annals of Neurology — White DL, Kunik ME, Yu H, et al. | May 01, 2020

Using race‐adjusted conditional logistic regression, experts aspired to explore whether traumatic brain injury (TBI) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are risk factors for Parkinson disease (PD). It is a key priority for the Veterans Administration (VA) with the screening program and prevention implications. Using VA health care facilities from October 1, 1999, to September 30, 2013, population‐based, matched case‐control study was conducted among veterans. Data reported that the overall study cohort prevalence for TBI_mild, TBI_non‐mild, and PTSD, respectively, was 0.65%, 0.69%, and 5.5%. The study was the first to show that both TBI and PTSD in a diverse nationwide cohort of military service veterans are independently correlated with increased relative PD risk, and the first to propose a potential modest synergistic excess risk in those with comorbid TBI/PTSD. Such indicative results require longitudinal research to validate.
