A member asked:
Is it normal for patients who have surgery for a brain tumor to become angry and violent?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Personality change is not a common side effect after brain surgery. If the tumor involves both frontal lobes, then personality change may occur.

Depression/anxiety: Being diagnosed with a brain tumor can be overwhelming and threatening to your livelihood/future. Some people process their concern as anger at their situation and this can spill over on family/friends. Brain tumor support groups can help. Discuss your concerns with your doctors and some antidepressants may be needed also.
