The frontal lobes of our brains control our emotions and behaviours from happiness and joy to frustration, impatience and anger. Following a brain injury, strong emotions may rapidly become exaggerated and heightened for some and difficult to regulate.
In this episode, Neuropsychologist, Dr Alex Garfield, explains how there can often be a difficult adjustment period following a brain injury for the individual, their family and their friends as they come to terms with these personality changes. She emphasises how important it is to embark upon a journey of psychological discovery of how the brain injury can impact emotions and how they can be managed.
Paul, together with fellow brain injury survivor Jules, reflect upon how some of these subtle changes have had a profound impact upon their day-to-day lives.
