4. Personality changes and mood changes
A brain tumor can cause personality and mood changes due to the tumor pressing on certain parts of the brain, especially in the frontal area of the brain, where our social behavior lies. Pressure on these and other areas can cause physiological effects and trigger personality and mood changes.
It can feel like an emotional rollercoaster ride, where emotions can change quickly and drastically. It can also manifest physically in the form of headaches, nausea, and other physical symptoms described above. The exact symptoms depend on the size and location of the tumor and how much it’s affecting the brain.
