The Military Health System recognized May as Mental Health Awareness month. This year's theme is "In This Together," which focuses on identifying, preventing, and recovering from burnout in our military medical providers and service member populations. In this episode, we talk to mental health experts about the symptom crossovers between mild TBI and burnout and how these symptoms can disguise underlying problems.

In addition, this episode features interviews with TBICoE's Capt. Tricia Booker, a Licensed Certified Social Worker and TBI subject matter expert, and Dr. Nancy Skopp, a clinical psychologist from the Psychological Health Centers of Excellence.

Picking Your Brain episodes interview TBI subject matter experts about everything from the latest clinical recommendations, the effects sustaining a TBI has on service members and veterans, and the loved ones who support their recovery process.
