  • If (if I remember correctly) someone has a stroke on the left side of the brain and they have paralysis on the right side of the body they tend to become tearful and depressive. If they have a stroke on the right side of the brain with left sided paralysis they TEND to become hostile, profane and combative. I am a nurse but have not worked for a while. I have worked in nursing homes and am totally aware of the personality changes one has after a stroke. PLEASE try to remember that this is part of the disease. I also understand the difficulty of taking care of a loved one...even if a nurse! My step dad needed home care and it is tough. YOU NEED PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE from a home care agency. Take care of yourself. Bless you, OK?

    • i was not aware of that being part of the disease that was kind of part of my question tho :) thanks for the help and my dad was paralysed on the right side, lost his speech and some memory, im not sure if that would help with knowing anything about it, like if a stroke on those parts of the brain would cause personality change
