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.

Association between stroke and subsequent risk of suicide: A systematic review and meta-analysis

 This is so simple to understand, survivors have NO PROTOCOLS to 100% recovery. That leads to anxiety, depression and thoughts of a worthless life. Solve the correct problem; 100% RECOVERY. When I was asked by a psychologist in the hospital if I blamed my body for failing me the answer was no. My physical abilities and cognitive reserve are what saved my life. She then asked if I had considered suicide. I said no, but I had already determined if I got to that point how it would happen, I would kneel down next to our 3 foot deep fish pond and just tip forward into it. I would never be able to get back out of that.  I never even came close to initiating that, I'm way too stubborn.

This is a secondary problem, solve the primary problem of 100% recovery. Are you that blitheringly stupid that you, your mentors and senior researchers can't see that?

Journal Summary

Sequelae of stroke include poor mental health and depression, so researchers aimed at determining if stroke is linked with subsequent risk of suicide. By systematically searching MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar from inception to September 15, 2020, they screened 4,093 articles. Of these, they identified 23 studies of fair quality as eligible for inclusion, which included over 2 million stroke survivors, of whom 5,563 attempted suicide or died by suicide. Based on findings, they emphasize that stroke may be a risk factor for suicide. The pooled adjusted RR of suicide in stroke survivors was 1.73 vs the nonstroke group, with a significantly higher adjusted risk of suicide attempt than of death by suicide. A longer follow-up time in cohort studies was associated with a lower risk of suicide. In order to lower the burden of suicide in stroke survivors, comprehensive strategies to screen and treat depression and suicidal ideation in stroke survivors are needed.
