Your brain injury can have a significant impact on your emotions and how you cope with them.
As 1.3 million people in the UK are currently living with the long-term effects of a traumatic brain injury (TBI), it is important to not only administer physical care but also emotional care.
The team at Synergy Complex Care are compassionate in their care towards those with a brain injury.
No brain injury is the same, and no care option will suit everyone, which is why Synergy Complex Care will tailor support systems to suit your unique situation.
We are cautious of the toll that can be placed on your emotional state should you encounter a brain injury.
This can be overwhelming to deal with but it’s important to remember you are not alone.
How will a brain injury emotionally affect me?
After a traumatic brain injury, you might start to experience or express your emotions differently.
This can happen because parts of the brain, that control emotions, have been damaged.
Or you might find you begin to feel these changes if you have previously endured a brain injury.
Although a brain injury affects each person differently, there are common emotional effects which include:
- Depression/sadness
- Anxiety or worry
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Stress
- Issues with empathy.
In the early days after the occurrence of a brain injury, it is normal to feel worried about what lies ahead.
You might become frustrated with your temporary loss of independence, but getting well-rounded support is essential to maintaining and increasing your independence whilst you recover.
