Concussion is a heterogeneous injury involving a myriad of physical (eg, dizziness, headache), cognitive (eg, memory problems, difficulty concentrating), sleep-related and affective (eg, depression, anxiety) symptoms, and impairment (eg, cognitive, vestibular, oculomotor).

Some athletes experience mood-related consequences including anxiety and depression following SRC. In the extreme, these consequences if ignored or improperly managed can lead to clinical depression, anxiety, and even suicidal ideation and intent. As such, it is important to assess mood-related changes following SRC in all athletes and to properly treat those athletes who may be experiencing more pervasive affective symptoms.
