A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can have many lifelong impacts on a person’s physical and mental health. One of these important functions that can be affected is one’s emotions and personality. If you or a loved one has sustained a TBI from a car accident, contact Mike Agruss Law for a free consultation so we can help you recover from this experience and get fairly compensated.

Most people have a general idea of the severity of a TBI’s from a car accident physical consequences. What we are less informed on is the emotional and behavioral consequences that one may experience. Different parts of the brain handle different aspects of behavior or emotions. So, depending on which part of the brain is most severely affected, some part of your mentality or behavior may change accordingly. For instance, if one’s pituitary gland is damaged, it may result in depression or symptoms of depression. This is because the pituitary gland is in charge of regulating the hormones in our body and our well-being.

After a TBI from an accident, one may experience extreme mood swings, verbal or physical outbursts, depression, impulsive behavior, negativity, poor judgment, and much more. These can interfere with daily life and make work or family life very difficult or troubling. After seeking immediate medical attention following the accident, seeing a behavioral therapist or neuropsychologist to manage these difficulties can be one step towards regaining more control over your situation and your life.
