Encephalopathy Fact #8: Causes Behavioral Changes
Our brains determine pretty much everything about who we are mentally. Our brains store the information and experiences that determine our personalities, our intelligence and who we are overall. This means that should something happen to the brain, your personality can be affected as a result.
One symptom of encephalopathy is mood changes. Depression is also common and the patient can often appear to be a completely different person than before the damage occurred. It can also destroy their ability to remember and even their closest loved ones might be forgotten. It can be devastating not only to the patient but also to those around them.
