Emotional symptoms include anxiety, panic attacks, and depression.

Physical symptoms may involve a feeling of numbness or tingling affecting one limb or one side of the body, temporary blurring of vision, slurred speech, and difficulty or lack of control in urinating.

BRAIN TUMORS

Brain tumors may cause severe headaches, blurred or double vision, vomiting without the warning of nausea, general weakness, and, in some cases, epileptic seizures.

Emotional symptoms may involve nervousness, irritability, memory problems, and personality changes.

HEAD INJURIES

Head injuries that damage the brain generally cause headaches and dizziness.

Emotional symptoms usually involve nervousness and sometimes confusion. In more serious injuries, there may be loss of memory, depression, and decreased alertness. Severe damage to the brain can cause unconsciousness that may persist for days or weeks.
