Abstract
This study examined the effect of baseline psychological symptoms on post-concussion symptoms among 67 concussed collegiate athletes. Depression at baseline was the strongest predictor of post-concussion depression and anxiety. Post-concussion depression and anxiety were significantly associated. These results support the importance of baseline screenings for risk of post-concussion psychological symptoms.
