Warning Signs Of Post-Concussion Syndrome

Anxiety And Irritability

Unusual anxiety and irritability can be signs of post-concussion syndrome if they last for longer than a couple of weeks following the concussion. Depending on what caused the injury, patients may feel more anxiety about the possibility of being injured again. Other types of anxiety may be more nebulous. Affected individuals may find themselves worried about things that could happen, catastrophizing, or lying awake at night thinking about past mistakes. Unusual irritability is also common. Patients may find themselves having less patience and snapping at others over seemingly small things. They may also feel like their overall stress levels have undergone a significant increase.
