Which mental health assessment tool evaluates physical brain injury due to trauma?

The mental health assessment tool that specifically evaluates physical brain injury due to trauma is the BVC, or Brain Injury Communication Ability Scale. This tool is designed to assess the impact of brain injury on communication abilities, providing insight into how trauma may affect cognitive and communicative function. It is particularly useful in identifying deficits that may arise following a traumatic brain injury, thus guiding further treatment and rehabilitation strategies.

Other tools listed serve different purposes. For instance, AIMS (Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale) is primarily used for assessing movement disorders, such as tardive dyskinesia. The BDI (Beck Depression Inventory) is focused on assessing the severity of depressive symptoms, while the CAGE questionnaire is a screening tool for alcohol use disorder. Each of these serves distinct functions, but the BVC is uniquely relevant for assessing the consequences of physical brain injury resulting from trauma.
