Your doctor had better create a stroke protocol for you from this.

Antidepressant treatments enhance plasticity and increase neurogenesis
in the adult brain, but it has been unclear how these effects influence
mood. We propose that, like environmental enrichment and exercise,
antidepressant treatments enhance adaptability by increasing structural
variability within the nervous system at many levels, from proliferating
precursors to immature synaptic contacts. Conversely, sensory
deprivation and chronic stress reduce this structural variability.
Activity-dependent competition within the mood-related circuits, guided
by rehabilitation, then selects for the survival and stabilization of
those structures that best represent the internal or external milieu.
Increased variability together with competition-mediated selection
facilitates normal function, such as pattern separation within the
dentate gyrus and other mood-related circuits, thereby enhancing
adaptability toward novel experiences.
