I have been taking different medications for a number of years, which has no doubt affected my brain, to some extent, and my personality is not what it was before I was taking the meds, which leads me to believe that changes in my brain altered my personality.
Yes, there is no question that drugs and physical damage alter the way consciousness is processed by the brain. That follows from consciousness being brain-dependent.
