Many people who have a brain injury report feeling as though they have become a different person since their injury.
A brain injury can result in many changes:
- the way their body works
- their identity and how they see themselves
- roles within families
- relationships
- ability to manage tasks
- access to community
- participating in events
These changes can make the special person feel upset, angry or confused.
Some people don’t appear to worry about their brain injury – this could be because they don’t fully understand what has happened to them, or it could mean that they have found a way to cope with it.
