Changes in Mood
Brain tumors can cause behavioral and personality changes, which are a challenge for both the patient and those around them. This manifests as:
- Swings in mood
- Irritability
- Planning and organizing can be difficult
- The following are some of the ways to reduce your risk:
- Anxiety
- Nervousness
- Inactivity
- Difficulty in acknowledging emotions.
Loss of inhibition and lack of judgment can lead to the patient engaging in socially or culturally insensitive acts.
The frontal lobe is responsible for personality and behavior. The frontal lobe tumors are characterized by mood-altering symptoms. Personality changes can be caused by tumors of the temporal lobe and pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is responsible for the production of major hormones endocrine, and its pathology may have a serious impact on logic and behavior.
