Because a concussion is a brain injury. It can cause mild to severe behavioral issues and it can cause mental and emotional stress and trauma.
Unfortunately yes. Have you spoken to your sons Pediatrician or asked for a referral to a neurologist? Please let me know if I can be of further assistance in the form of a consultation or direct service. I look forward to hearing from you.
Hello and thank you for reaching out to me and yes a concussion can cause behavioral issues. But it depends on the damage to the brain. The best suggestion I can tell you at this point is to see his doctor and run some tests to see if any damage was done to his brain from his concussion and the severity of it if any at all is there.
A concussion is a mild Traumatic Brain Injury which may have an affect on behavior, mood or personality or what may be causing the change in behavior is if he is experiencing pain, lack of sleep or fatigue
