I have a character who suffered an violent blow to the head, causing a blank spot in his memory for a period of about three weeks.

As a result of his injury, he is impulsive, emotionally unstable, and mildly anxious.

How would you describe the head injury, along with these symptoms, in medical terms?

Thanks!

The specific psychiatric diagnosis would need a lot more details than "impulsivity, instability, and anxiety" Those are all symptoms that could be found in a number of specific disorders.

Your character simply suffered "blunt trauma to his head" as a result he suffered a 3 week period of "acute amnesia", since the incident occured your character sounds like he is suffering from "PTSD" (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.... Are you writing a book??
