thx, BigAl

Welcome to hadit. In my humble opinion (IMHO) I think any service connected condition that causes depression that can be related/connected by a medical opinion can also be awarded service connection. The key would be to get a physician or a psychiatrist to link the disorders. So I would say it is very possible. Yes, mental health problems can be associated to Traumatic Brain Injury

I'm not sure if this is the answer your looking for.
A psychologist or neuro-psychologist or a psychiatrist can diagnose TBI.
A neurologist can also diagnose TBI.
On the other side, many mental dissorders such a depression, anxiaty, and some personality dissorders can be diagnosed as caused by(or secondary to) TBI.

BigAl,
You can get a copy of your VA medical records, and service medical records too, so you can see what has been diagnosed, and said.
Have you seen a neurologist yet?

haven`t appealed it yet. Their saying I show in service record for mental and they need and expert medical opinion
You should get your appeal in.
Your tbi was in service? Was it before you began having mental issues? The tbi can cause these types of problems like major depressve disorder. It caused my MDD and anxiaty. It can also aggravate the conditions if they were already present.
In other words, even if you did have a condition before the tbi, the tbi can still be service connected and rated. Do you have service records of the tbi?
