The authors examined the occurrence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in individuals convicted of sexual offenses with and without bipolar disorder and a comparison group of patients with bipolar disorder without a history of sexual offending behaviors.

TBI predated the first sexual offense and/or the onset of bipolar disorder in most subjects.
