The signs and symptoms of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be subtle. Symptoms of a TBI may not appear until days or weeks following the injury or may even be missed as people may look fine even though they may act or feel differently. For Children with a brain injury, it is often harder for them to let others know how they feel. Call your child's doctor if they have had a blow to the head and you notice any of these symptoms:

Sympathetic Hyperactivity Syndrome (PSH) is a syndrome characterized by hypertension, diaphoresis, tachycardia and agitation. First described by Penfield in 1929, he called it diencephalic convulsions [1]. However, electrophysiological investigations showed no electro-encephalic activity. Since then, many names have been given to this syndrome including dysautonomia, sympathetic storming, brainstem attack, autonomic dysregulation, and paroxysmal autonomic instability with dystonia. However, it is only very recently in 2014 that the International Brain Injury Association consensus has determined a nomenclature "paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity" as well as clear diagnostic criteria through a tool called PSH-AM(Paroxysmal Sympathetic Hyperactivity Assessment Measure). This tool consists of two parts, the first of which rates the severity of the clinical signs from 0-3 and the second part the diagnostic probability. The numerical result of each part is put together and the sum of the two parts gives the probability of a diagnosis of PSH; unlikely (score<8), possible (scores between 8-16) and probable (score ≥ 17) [2-6].

Mental health clinicians who treat childhood trauma are impacted in a variety of ways by this challenging work. These therapists bear witness to, contain and intervene with countless stories of childhood trauma, including abuse, neglect and other traumatic and adverse childhood experiences that children endure. Therapists who treat childhood trauma are continually engaging with unthinkable events that negatively impact the hearts, bodies, minds and overall functioning of youth. A possible consequence of childhood trauma treatment is for the therapist to experience vicarious trauma. This brief paper outlines the causes of vicarious trauma as well as steps clinicians can take to reduce the severity and frequency of experiencing vicarious trauma.
