CTE Support & Resources

Crucial information about living with suspected CTE.

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.
