What are neurobehavioral problems?
Neurobehavioral problems are behavior problems that are attributed to specific aspects of a brain injury. Sometimes normal inhibitions and judgment are reduced due to the injury. Individuals may develop difficulty with self-regulation or self-control, impulse control, over arousal, frustration tolerance and problems in perception. They may overreact to situations, get angry without provocation, or behave in socially inappropriate ways. In some cases, medications are effective in assisting them with behavior control. A neuropsychologist may help design an appropriate behavior learning strategy.
