Just interested to know how common/ typical this is. Also, is the anxiety a direct result of the injury or a side effect that occurs after the injury? What are the physical factors that cause anxiety in brain injury patients?

People who have had mild to severe brain injuries, are very susceptible to anxiety attacks.
When I was seven, I fell about eight feet off of a high-dive ladder, and as a result suffered a subdermal hematoma (blood on the brain)
That coupled with another traumatic event in my life has caused me to suffer from anxiety. I actually have it under control a little better now. Talk to your doctor. I don’t exactly what part of your brain would cause the anxiety.
