Mood

Your mood will change a lot after a concussion. You may feel irritable, anxious, or depressed. You may find your moods change very quickly (e.g., you’re crying one minute and laughing the next) like being on an emotional roller coaster. You may also find that you don’t care about things like you used to. Talk to your family doctor if you have these symptoms.

The following are common mood problems and ways to help you deal with them. Watch these YouTube clips for more information on moods.
