Deans' stroke musings: Want to get happy? Science tells you how

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Want to get happy? Science tells you how

International Happiness Day on March 20.

Does your doctor have a stroke protocol that addresses how you can be happy? Why not?

What does the research tell us about how to be happier?
There is no one-size-fits-all strategy. What makes one person happy may not work for another person. However, in general those who emphasize and nurture their personal relationships are happier. More important than the number of friends is the quality of those friends. Additionally, those who are happier are people who interact with and appreciate beauty in nature; people who exercise, volunteer, and have hobbies; people who have clearer goals that involve helping others and improving their community; and people who finish what they start – they complete their goals. Spirituality is also linked to happiness.
