Research Letter: Sleep Mediates the Association Between Prior Concussion and Depressive Symptoms

Conclusions: Current findings raise the possibility that the greater risk of depression reported in those with a history of mTBI/concussion is mediated by sleep quality, a common sequela of mTBI. These findings highlight potential opportunities for prophylactic sleep-related intervention among individuals with multiple prior concussions to mitigate the risk of depression.
