Does CTE cause suicide?

Does CTE cause suicide?
Dr. Robert A. Stern
Professor of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Anatomy & Neurobiology
Director of Clinical Research, BU CTE Center

In this video, Dr. Stern explains that while chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) has unfortunately been linked to some high-profile suicides in recent times, the motivations to takes ones life are far too complex to be attributable to a single cause, and that there is no evidence of a direct relationship between CTE and suicide.

So important...I've been riding BMX for 30 years, several blackout concussions and hundreds of hard Street landings , its a super fun sport, BUT hidden consequences....e.g...Dave Mirra, Colin Winkleman ...RIP...when we land hard from height I believe it will cause the same brain damage, even if you don't blackout and feel OK in the short term. I suffer with depression, anxiety, rage fits and apathy... now I think I know why GF.

My husband of 13 years and half commited numerous attempts of suicides. I lost control of counting them.
