"Congratulations to Carol Cancelliere and Riaz Mohammedfor their recent publication in JOSPT. Their clinical commentary on psychosocial factors in concussion is available now (open-access)! The three clinical recommendations are:

1. Address psychosocial factors early
2. Ask all patient about their recovery expectations as early as you can
3. Patients with a positive screen for depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other mental health disorders should be referred to the appropriate healthcare provider or be co-managed
