Coping with Emotional Changes After Brain Injury

After a brain injury, it’s common to experience emotional ups and downs. These changes can feel overwhelming but are a natural part of recovery.


Why Emotional Changes Happen

Brain injury can affect areas of the brain that regulate mood, causing:

  • Anxiety and depression
  • Mood swings
  • Irritability or frustration
  • Feelings of isolation or sadness

Strategies to Manage Emotions

  • Practice mindfulness and relaxation techniques
  • Keep a mood diary to track triggers
  • Reach out for professional counseling or peer support
  • Maintain a healthy routine with sleep, diet, and exercise
