What Causes Excessive Crying And Anger While Suffering Form Meningitis?

Posted on Thu, 16 Feb 2017

Question: I was in a induced coma for six days due to respiratory failure and during that time I contracted menegitus and phenomena. Once I was released from the hospital they found both of my carotid arteries were blocked and I had two surgeries to clear those blocks. I am now in physical therapy for a frozen shoulder and loss of muscle mass. I am having issues with losing my temper over small things and crying over stupid issues. Would this have anything to do with what I have been thru. Thanks
