Facial paralysis itself does not cause short temper, but the symptoms associated with facial paralysis can affect the patient’s mood and lead to short temper and other emotions.
Patients with facial palsy often have an acute onset of symptoms such as inability to furrow the eyebrows, weak eyelid closure, shallow nasolabial folds, drooping of the corners of the mouth, and then drooling and food retention in the gums on the affected side, etc. Due to these sudden changes, the patient may experience mood changes such as low mood and irritability, and if they persist for a long period of time, some of the patients may also experience anxiety and depression.
If patients with facial paralysis experience symptoms such as depressed mood and irritability, it is recommended to conduct psychological counseling in a timely manner, and if necessary, psychotherapy and medication are needed to avoid delaying the condition.
