Are Personality Changes And Mood Disorders Associated With Serious Head Injuries In The New Orleans
Area?

February 28, 2015 by Louis Gertler Last Modified: October 28, 2025

Yes, after an event like a car accident, people who’ve suffered whiplash movements to their heads often display subtle signs of serious head injuries, (Traumatic Brain Injury) that can be difficult to diagnose through standard medical testing.

Personality changes, mood disorders, memory impairment, and vision problems are just a few of the lasting effects that can devastate a person a second time around.

Changes in personality and mood are especially troubling, because they can cause problems in nearly every aspect of person’s life. Relationships with friends and family can suffer, and a previously excellent employee can find themselves out of a job in short order. The fact that the problem may be damage to miniscule areas of the brain that manage impulse control or stress reactions won’t matter.

At The Gertler Law Firm, we help clients in New Orleans recover their lives after accidents that result in invisible head injuries. Medical and psychological experts provide context for your experiences, and then you and your family provide a full accounting of the ways your life has been impacted.

You don’t have to simply live with the effects of a Traumatic Brain Injury. With the proper resources, you’ll be able to engage specialists who can help you retrain your brain and recover lost function. The Gertler Law Firm can help you get your life back after a Traumatic Brain Injury. Call (504) 581-6411 today for a free consultation with an experienced New Orleans Traumatic Brain Injury attorney.
