At least 25% of brain tumor sufferers experience a major depressive disorder, which can include prolonged feelings of indescribable misery, which can interfere with day-to-day living. Many often feel as if there is no hope or that their existence has no value.
5. Mood swings
According to Mike Chen, MD, Ph.D., associate professor in the division of neurosurgery, department of surgery, at City of Hope in California, “a large, slowly growing tumor in the frontal lobe can alter personality and judgment so far as to be mistaken for criminal behavior or psychiatric problems.” If you notice that your personality seems to rapidly alter itself from one moment to the next, it might be a good idea to get yourself checked.
6. Extreme fatigue
If you’re utterly exhausted all day every day, then this may be a sign of a cancerous brain tumor. Some sufferers report a complete loss of focus, and even falling asleep at their desks while at work. Others say that their limbs sometimes feel very heavy and that they feel a lot physically weaker than usual.
7. Hearing problems
Sudden hearing problems can also be a sign of a brain tumor. According to Dr. Christopher Carruba, MD, co-director for medical education at Med School Tutors, “if you’re experiencing hearing loss from one side or a constant ringing sensation, known as tinnitus, you’ll want to make an appointment with your doctor, who can determine whether your symptoms are severe enough to see a neurologist.”
