Personality and emotional changes by severity of traumatic brain injury

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship of severity of traumatic brain injury(TBI) and personality and emotional changes after head trauma. The severity of traumatic brain injury was diagnosed by the length of loss of consciousness and the impairment of cognitive function separately. MMPI and Rorschach was administered to 83 patients after mild head trauma. The data indicated that the neurotic symptoms increased in case of mild TBI patients and the more TBI is severed, the more psychotic problems is increased. The integrated model consist of loss of consciousness and impairment of cognitive function will fit diagnosis on TBI very well when the data from various impairment location were added. The future study on TBI is desirable to simultaneous consider patient's well being and longitudinal rehabilitation included personality and emotional changes.
