Detailed explanation-1: -After a traumatic brain injury (TBI), people may have problems with social skills. These problems can differ from person to person and can be harder to manage when feeling strong emotions, such as anger or excitement. Common examples are: Feeling out of place and uncomfortable around other people.

Detailed explanation-2: -Some types of TBI can cause temporary or short-term problems with normal brain function, including problems with how the person thinks, understands, moves, communicates, and acts. More serious TBI can lead to severe and permanent disability, and even death.

Detailed explanation-3: -Perhaps the most common behavioural change after brain injury is that of increased irritability. People with a brain injury are often impatient, intolerant of others’ mistakes, and easily irritated by interruptions, such as noise from children or machinery, which disrupt their concentration.

Detailed explanation-4: -The brain affects how you think; how you feel; how you act. So a TBI can affect your physical functions, thinking abilities, behaviors, and more. The injury can range from mild to severe, and it may increase your risk for mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression, as well as sleeping problems.
