The medical question

Which mental-health needs require better recognition and support for fighters?

The Fight Medicine Research Institute uses this evidence to frame questions about a fighter’s psychological health, access to support and health after competition. The study’s population and assessment methods determine which questions it can inform.

Summary

The authors reviewed historical clinical descriptions of boxers and tabulated reported psychiatric, neuropsychiatric and behavioral features relevant to traumatic encephalopathy syndrome.

Scope: Historical case descriptions published between 1928 and 1999.

What the abstract reports

  • The authors reviewed clinical descriptions of 155 current and former boxers from 21 articles published between 1928 and 1999.
  • A psychiatric, neuropsychiatric or neurobehavioral problem was described in 34.8% of cases. 6.5% of cases were described as primarily psychiatric or neuropsychiatric.
  • Depression was documented in 11.0% of cases, anxiety in 3.9% and suicidality in 0.6%. The authors conclude that these were not considered clinical features of the syndrome in the 20th-century literature.
