Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic

Dr. Kraus is a physician who specializes in the evaluation and treatment of the different neurobehavioral problems that can occur following traumatic brain injury. As a neuropsychiatrist, she has over ten years clinical experience treating the cognitive (intellectual), mood, and behavioral problems that can result from injury to the brain, both acutely and over the longer term. Cognitive problems include memory impairment, attention and concentration deficits, and difficulty with problem solving. There can also be changes in mood and behavior following brain injury, such as depression, irritability, anger, impulsivity, inappropriate behavior, or loss of motivation. Any severity of injury can result in a change in function, even injuries that did not appear to be serious, such as those with minimal or no loss of consciousness [see review article].
