But before you see a shrink, check with an actual physician. There could be a physical cause to your downward spiral.

Quote:Behavior is the way in which a person responds to a certain set of conditions. Changes in personality and behavior occur in the majority of patients with brain tumors at some point during their treatment.
In some cases, these changes are so subtle that the patients themselves are more aware of their difficulties than are those around them. In others, it is the caregiver rather than the patient who first recognizes that something is different.
Common cognitive changes and personality-related problems and difficulties experienced by patients with brain tumors are usually associated with:
- Language and Communication: Difficulty with verbal fluency; speaking, reading, and/or writing.
- Emotion and Personality: Psychiatric symptoms such as depression, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive behaviors; changes in emotional control such as irritability, mood swings, or withdrawal; socially inappropriate behavior; and/or denial that behavior is a problem.
- Learning and Memory (particularly short-term memory): Difficulty processing, storing, and remembering information; short-term memory loss.
- Attention and Concentration: Confusion, easy distraction, difficulty multitasking and planning.
- Executive Functioning/General Intellectual Abilities: Decreased reasoning ability, impaired judgment, inability to connect cause and effect.
