Why it matters

Untreated depression after SCI is associated with worse rehabilitation outcomes, greater difficulty managing secondary complications, reduced community participation, and lower quality of life. Mental health care is not a peripheral add-on to physical rehabilitation — it is a core part of it. Topic #198 frames depression as common, expected, and treatable rather than an unavoidable consequence to simply endure.
