Panel: Behavioral & Emotional Problems After Brain Injury with

Lisa Dryer and GeorgeAnna Bell

presented

Donna O’Donnell Figurski

images-1One of the most difficult aftereffects of brain injury is losing oneself. Depending on the injury and which part of the brain is impacted determines the type of emotional and behavioral change in one’s personality. A person who was agreeable, complacent, reasonable, and calm before the injury may change drastically to one who is violent, depressive, or struggles with anger management. These effects are not easy for others to understand – BUT, have you thought about how difficult it must be for the survivor?

    I endured many strokes, from ages pre-natal to 15; when I had my final stroke, I was enrolled in my first creative writing class.

    After, I returned to school, things were way messed up for me; however, free verse poetry has gotten me through.

      I’m happy that you have found a way of using free-verse poetry to get by. It’s really important to have something to rely on.
