[QUOTE="pasajes4, post: 698040, member: 12856"] you can have mood swings that go in rapid cycles and that same person can alternately have cycles that last days, weeks, and at times months depending on the amount and intensity of both internal and external triggers. A brain aneurysm is a game changer. Physical damage to the brain has taken place. Medication can help somewhat, but the persons abilities that are regulated by that particular area of the brain are permanently damaged. Her impulsive behavior is not willfulness on her part nor are they caused by bipolar disorder, depression, or psychosis. The behaviors may look the same but the cause is not the same. In most cases of traumatic brain injury ( a brain aneurysm would certainly be considered a traumatic injury) therapies used to treat bipolar or other mental illnesses would not be that successful. Retraining the brain (much like with a stroke victim) would produce better, but somewhat limited, improvement. Amnesia of events and the lack of ability to remember consequences of similar situations are a direct result of damaged neurological pathways. [/QUOTE]
