Abstract

This study explores the relationship between self-reported suicidal ideation (SI) and subjective symptoms related to PTSD and TBI (e.g. sleep impairment, cognitive difficulties, emotional dysregulation, etc.) in treatment-seeking veterans. Analyses revealed PTSD and post-concussive symptom severity were associated with self-reported SI, implicating that identification of MRFs could guide SI interventions.
