Symptoms Of Glioblastoma

Behavioral And Personality Shifts

The symptoms of glioblastoma that very negatively affects patients and their loved ones are behavioral and personality shifts. These changes are often negative and can be caused by changes in the brain or formed as a reaction to other symptoms, such as pain and stress. Changes in personality can be profound, especially when caused directly by the tumor rather than other symptoms. This is most common when the tumor forms in the frontal lobe of the brain, which controls an individual’s personality. Pituitary tumors can also affect personality and behavior, as this section of the brain regulates hormones that can create a wide array of effects on a person’s mood and body function. Because it is difficult to understand these changes in another person, it is important for loved ones and caregivers to be understanding and patient when treating or living with people who suffer from glioblastoma.
