Personality changes in brain injury

J Neuropsychiatry Clin Neurosci. 2011 Spring;23(2):E14. doi: 10.1176/jnp.23.2.jnpe14.

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is frequently complicated by alterations in mood and behaviour and changes in personality. We report mild personality changes post-TBI as a possible indicator of traumatic brain injury, but not of injury severity or psychiatric complications.
