Anyone treating behavioral disturbances in likely CTE cases?

IIRC, my last review of the prevalence of CTE in NFL players was really low, in the single digit percentage or maybe low teens even thought hey had the same amount of exposure to multiple head traumas. This is the danger in making a diagnosis of a postmortem condition while someone is still alive. The nocebo effect is extremely damaging and a clinical diagnosis of CTE/TES should not be made at this time unless you're part of a research setting.

Horse is way out of the barn on this one. It is not uncommon to see CTE in patient charts, often with something like "possible CTE based on pt report of playing high school football." And no, that is not an exaggeration, and it's not the only time I've seen that, and not even from the same provider.
