It proves my point that with no damage diagnosis and no idea of how well you will recover you are likely to be depressed.

Abstract: Study investigated the relationship
between health ambiguity and depressive symptoms among stroke survivors
and whether survivor gender moderates this association. Thirty-six
survivors of first stroke were recruited through provider referral,
support groups, and print and Web-based sources. Participants completed
questionnaires via face-to-face interviews. Health ambiguity was
measured with the ambiguity subscale of the Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale. Depressive symptoms were measured by the Patient Health
Questionnaire-9. Paired samples t tests were used to examine differences
between male and female survivors on key variables. Ordinary least
squares regression was used to examine main and interaction effects of
ambiguity and gender on depressive symptoms. A simple slopes test was
used to examine the interaction effect. Health ambiguity, gender, and
the interaction of the 2 variables were significantly associated with
depressive symptoms. Simple slopes tests indicated that the association
between health ambiguity and depressive symptoms was stronger for male
versus female survivors. This study indicated that gender and health
ambiguity impact survivor depressive symptoms, independently and in
conjunction with one another. Further research with larger samples and
more comprehensive statistical models is needed to confirm these
findings.
