A member asked:
Would it be possible to develop depressed from head injuries?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Head injury: Yes, even mild concussion can cause depression, but also problems with attention that seem like depression. Repeated head injuries have more than simple additive effect and can lead to depression as well as more severe cognitive problems.

Yes: Post traumatic changes are possible, especially with serious injuries; also the disruption of your life can contribute to depression.
