Some people think brain injuries can be associated with mood swings

It is possible it could be post traumatic stress due to lack of counselling after the injury

People can have many problems after a head injury, depending on which part of the brain was damaged, such as damage to the frontal lobes can reduce impulse control, & make someone very difficult to live with because of behavioural problems.
