Stroke Impulses are sudden, intense urges that can result from neurological conditions like those following a stroke. It’s like having your brain’s impulse control dial turned way down. These impulses can be surprising and out of character, driven by changes in brain function. Understanding and managing these impulses requires patience and support.

These changes in personality and mood after stroke are common. Impulsiveness, apathy, pseudobulbar affect, anger, frustration and depression can affect a stroke survivor’s quality of life.
