What is CTE?

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a degenerative brain disease most often found in athletes, military veterans, and others with a history of repetitive brain trauma. Symptoms of CTE generally fall into three main categories:

Cognitive symptoms, including problems with executive function, impaired judgment, dementia, and more.
Mood and behavior symptoms, including aggression, impulse control problems, depression, anxiety, and more.
Sleep symptoms, including symptoms associated with REM behavior disorder, sleep apnea, and more.

Many symptoms are treatable, and we have a library of CTE resources to help patients and caregivers battling suspected CTE live full lives.
