Head help: My daughter hit her head and with in a couple of weeks and her personality totally changed. - Help.com

try cranio sacral therapy. They can adjust the head bones after trauma.

Let me find a link to Dr. Amen for you. What part of her head did she hit.

I learnt about something like this is psychology today…
did she hit the front of her head?

An injury in the front of her head…the frontal lobe can cause a multitude of problems and changes including a change in personality.
Those things can be hard to determine just from a check up and even a CAT scan or MRI unless they know what to look for.

Here is the link. I have read his book Change your brain Change your life. I also went to the recording of one of his PBS specials. He is great. He does brain spects that can find damage that CAT and MRI’s cant.

mmm could be her frontal lobe. that controls emotions.. basically everything that isnt a motor sense, things that arent automatic.

there is the possibility that shes getting nightmares because of it? and that her behaviour is changing through the day.

What kind of symptoms/changes do you see specifically?

if she’s become violent, she could of damaged her frontal lobe.
your doctors an idiot for not checking this…

It happen at school and they never told me where she hit her head. Just that she hit it. I took the hospital because sore throat and a server head ache. Nothing was wrong is what I got from the hospital. She could be fine one minute the daughter that I know and love. Then the next minute she is zoning out, laughing out load at nothing, she told the school that I was trying poisoning her, told the police that her father was trying to stab her and several episodes. Wakes up in the middle of night that she wants to see the sky.

Ok, let me get my psychology notes… *searches*
….
She may have damaged her Limbic system… its the emotional center of the brain.
I can’t remember exactly what my lecturer said, but she mentioned something about people who have damage in this area of the brain can behave strangely, like believing their family has been taken over by body snatchers… I know it sounds silly, but I’m not brilliant at explaining things.
Try googling “signs of damage to the limbic system”

I am not one to jump to conclusions and I certainly am not a doctor. Doing some brief research online I came across this:

Frontotemporal Dementia.

check it out yourself and see if you can speak with a doctor about it. It seems to be genetic so I’m not sure if an injury can stimulate it or not

Find a doctor that will HELP. Don’t let them put you off. Be persistant till you get the attention you want. I don’t know what country you are in but some doctors can be less than they should be. (Definitely not all doctors, though.)

I agree with dav, your doctor should not be ignoring this

Hypothalamus
This structure has ample connections with the other prosencephalic areas and the mesencephalus. Lesions of the hypothalamic nuclei interfere with several vegetative functions and some of the so-called motivated behaviors, like thermal regulation, sexuality, combativeness, hunger and thirst. The hypothalamus is also believed to play a role in emotion. Specifically, its lateral parts seem to be involved with pleasure and rage, while the median part is like to be involved with aversion, displeasure and a tendency to uncontrollable and loud laughing. However, in general terms, the hypothalamus has more to do with the expression (symptomatic manifestations) of emotions than with the genesis of the affective states. When the physical symptoms of emotion appear, the threat they pose returns, via hypothalamus, to the limbic centers and, thence, to the pre-frontal nuclei, increasing anxiety. This negative feed-back mechanism can be so strong as to generate a situation of panic. As it will be seen later on, the knowledge of this phenomenon is very important, for clinical and therapeutic reasons

she should be getting more tests imaging etc.
