Often the complaint of mood instability comes from the collateral source. First priority: assess safety. Severe mood instability can lead to suicide. Next, determine whether the problem is actually mood instability, as opposed to sustained major anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder. Nonpharmacological interventions are the most important, and include education, sleep management, prescription for cardiovascular exercise, pain control, cessation of alcohol and other disinhibiting substances, such as levetiracetam and cognitive behavioral therapy. Preferred pharmacological options that do not substantially impair cognitive recovery include lamotrigine (Lamictal) and oxcarbazepine (Trileptal). Other options include carbamazepine (Tegretol) when cost is an issue, propranolol (Inderal) when violence is a concern, and low-dose atypical antipsychotics.

Adolescents may be less able to make good judgments about their own abilities than adults. The collateral source becomes even more important than usual. Address questions about drug and alchohol use privately and give advice without the parents present. Peer influences may have a big impact on decision-making. Obtain collateral history from peers and educate peers as well as parents. Preexisting attention deficit, learning disabilities, and mood instability can get substantially worse after concussion and may require intensified treatment. For patients at the cusp of starting to drive, consider advising extra caution: go back to the beginning of driver’s education and get a professional driving evaluation. Consider preemptively addressing questions that the adolescent may be afraid to ask or cannot formulate accurately.
