I am agitated because of brain damage?

There is a very huge discussion before one can point out that a person suffers from personality problems like paranoia and agitation. Just as you have said SEVERE concussion brings these problems. And behavioral changes are not definitive signs of a SEVERE concussion. Concrete diagnostic tests like MRI and clinical assessment of a doctor/neurologist should be done before one can label changes in the personality. And there is also no point in avoiding them because they needed help. Refraining from social interaction will just cause their behavioral changes to manifest more negatively. It is with social stigma like your question that most patients tend to relapse or worsen. Not because someone hit their head and suddenly became irritated does it mean that they are already suffering from a concussion. Look before you leap.

I think there is no reason for us to refrain from being around these people. They even need our understanding and care. Since we are not suffering the same problem as he is, we should be the one to understand him and make sure he will be able to handle his problems well.

No, isolation would probably make matters worse. The diagnosis was only listing worst possible scenario.

hello there! Brain damage does not mean the person is dangerous. I believe their are only times of the day their body system is not coordinated but not all the time. I think they need more company than to be shunned away. That's my feeling

If you happen to have a relative or a friend who had gone into that situation, I think we should not avoid them because they do need our love and care. However, we should also be cautious of the sudden behavioral change that may occur. I guess we should avoid getting them excited or depressed, coz I know that extreme feelings as such could trigger the changes in their behavior.

Why should we be agitated with them ? It is the very time wherein they need a tons understanding . They never wanted to be like that , who would ? Be thankful we are not in this shoe. Let us be human , let us feel them.Let us give them chance and gestures that will tell that they are stil welcome in this world , accepted and being loved .

I personally know a few people who have had frontal lobe injuries and have become very agitated and often aggressive as a result. One is a relative. Love her to pieces. You have to know how to deal with their condition.

Hi there Shavkat, I have had this happen to someone in my life. It was my daughters father actually. He was a pretty nice guy and then one day while we were out at a bar, he got hit in the head with a fist or a ball, I forget now which one. But after that he got really mean and I dont think that he has ever been the same. I mean at this point, I dont really know him on a day to day level. But I still know him since we have a daughter. I actually talk to him as little as possible!! LOL

hi shavkat that is in t he worst cases and most people have mild problems. Ourdaughter was born a black baby meaning she was not breating so it took them a half ho ujr to get her breatning one half hour too long. no she was not dangerous to be around.She was a cuddle bujnny who loved everyone and she was loveab le but even at age 7 i still cou ld not g et her potty trained,. she was sweet never violent .NO the ones sith head injuries reange from mild to sever behavioral problems'but I have worked as a nurses aied and most were not that vilolet , xome might have a bad temper for a shrtt ime but nothtin like you are talking about.each person who is brain damaded is different. and no we do not need to refrain from mingling wtih them. them may need help and we can help them. Most people with brain damage are not raving lunatics at all. Just people with problems that willnot affec t us'at all.

If they get very bad I would think that we would need to refrain from being around them. It is said that in most cases serial killers had some sort of frontal lobe trauma at some point in their younger lives. THis is the part of the brain that makes our decisions, helps with the difference between right and wrong. As the tumor grows and presses on the lobe the behaviour becomes more pronounced.

Maybe we should just keep a close eye on them.

You read one isolated article. Head injuries are very frequent any more. Not every person who sustains a head injury becomes angry or turns to rage. Veterans come home with TBI many times. There's so many different ways a TBI can affect a person. But it is not fair to lump them all into one pile and throw them away.

I agree with some of the Mylotters who say that any one particular person can be paranoid or agitated. We mingle with them all the time and so do you. In other words, you don't know who you meet everyday. Any one of them can have brain damage. So if you know someone who's had brain damage, you can mingle with them until you see something that bothers you.

I think they need help, and someone has to get it for them. Many dont realize this behaviour, until help is received.

Why did they harm you already? Why are you going to refrain from them? Just be careful and watchful.
