Post Injury Depression<\/font><\/h1>\n

When accidents happen, injuries can be both physical and mental. In fact, according to the Sport Science Institute, \u201cthe psychological response to injury can trigger or unmask serious mental health issues such as depression (\u2026).\u201d In one study published by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, a group of doctors examined the effect of post-injury depression on return to pre-injury levels of function. Results showed that 18.1% of patients tested were diagnosed with depression during the post-injury year.<\/p>\n

Most often, victims of serious accidents will experience a long and painful recovery process in which they cannot return to work, nor enjoy their pre-injury activities and hobbies. It may lead to a strain in relationships with spouses, friends and family too. These dramatic life changes can result in a variety of emotions, such as anger, frustration, irritation, sadness, isolation, appetite changes, disturbed sleep, disengagement, a lack of motivation, and much more. <\/p>\n

Recovering Compensation for Depression<\/font><\/h1>\n

In virtually all jurisdictions, victims of a personal injury can make a claim and recover compensation for depression, or any other type of harm to their mental health, so long as the condition is linked to their accident and resulting injuries. Depression would be referred to as a “non-economic loss\u201d, just like pain and suffering, or any other type of negative impact on mental and emotional health.
