What Is Autoimmune Encephalitis?
5. Behavioral Changes
Most of what determines a person’s personality is located in their brain. This means that if something was to affect the brain, then the patient’s personality is also sometimes affected. This very thing will happen in some cases of autoimmune encephalitis.
Patients with the condition will sometimes become agitated more easily than they otherwise would. Some will also experience a loss of inhibition and become more likely to throw caution to the wind. This might sometimes lead to them having problems with the authorities, financial difficulties, and maybe also injuries. The condition will also cause the patient to become paranoid in some cases.
