Answer
Hi Cameron and thanks for writing,

CP can affect your moods by changing the chemicals in your brain which make us feel happy one day and sadthe next - this does not just happen to people with CP, it cna happen to anyone, probably 50% of people have mood disorders. This is not a "Split Personality", it is just changes in mood that have very strong effect on our feelings.

Luckily this is easy to treat so you should talk honestly with your doctor about how you feel,how sad you are when you're sad, and how long it lasts.

I hope this helps and I hope you feel better soon.
