TBI and depression

I have had mTBI for five months. I have been on anti-depressants for 10 years. How do they affect one another? Anybody in the same boat?

Nice to meet you!!

Welcome to Neurotalk. Depression is a common post-trauma symptom, so it's possible it could exacerbate your symptoms. I'm not a MD but I've not heard of any contraindications for SSRI's or other common antidepressants for mTBI. Best to you as you recover.
