The deployment trauma phenotype is associated with clinically significant decrease in cognitive control/processing speed in post-9/11 Veterans. Comorbid PTSD and depressive disorder negatively impacted performances in episodic memory. Mild TBI alone showed no cognitive deficits. Clinical interventions should target psychiatric symptoms with a transdiagnostic approach to address this multimorbid population.
