Do you experience this? 👇🏻

It is actually more common than you probably think!

😢 Do you cry easily?

🧑🏻‍⚕️ You may want to talk to a healthcare professional about PBA.

⚕️ Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) is a medical condition. It causes episodes of crying of laughing that may be unpredictable. Sometimes it is called emotional lability.

🧠 It is caused by damage to an area of the brain. Many stroke survivors have PBA.
