Blast injury and chronic psychiatric disability in military personnel: Exploring the association beyond posttraumatic stress disorder

These findings suggest that proactive mental health screening and interventions should be considered for individuals experiencing blast injuries. Future research should explore the mechanisms underlying this association.
