Emotional Effects Of Stroke 'As Devastating As Physical Effects' Says New Report

This is very easily explained by the fact that no patient gets any type of damage diagnosis and no therapy protocols that have any guarantee of success. Doesn't anyone do any critical thinking about stroke at all?

Too many stroke survivors and their families are abandoned when they leave hospital and left without the support they need to help them cope with the emotional impact of stroke. A new report published yesterday (Wednesday 1 May) by the Stroke Association reveals that the emotional impact of the condition can be as devastating as the physical effects.

The charity's report, Feeling Overwhelmed, is based on the findings of a survey(i) of over 2,700 people affected by stroke. While hospital care is rated highly, the emotional strain on survivors and their families when they return home is underestimated and often overlooked by health and social care services, leaving people inadequately supported.
