Well this is the likely outcome of the fact that our doctors do not have anything positive to help us on our recovery path. Only 10% get to almost full recovery. NO stroke rehabilitation protocols are provided. Nothing provided to solve our fatigue. Nothing provided to solve our spasticity. Nothing done to prevent our likely dementia. In simplest terms our doctors DO NOTHING. Wouldn't you be fucking depressed? The solution is to solve the problems in stroke, not use a bandaid approach of psychological counseling. Solve the correct problem not the secondary problem.

Stroke patients can be up to twice as likely to commit suicide
compared with the rest of the population, and the risk of attempted
suicide is highest within the first two years after a stroke. These are
the findings of a study from Umeå University published in the journal
Neurology.
"The study shows the need of both psychological and social support,
as well as concrete measures to prevent suicide attempts, in people who
have had a stroke and are at high risk of attempted suicide. The
initiatives must also be put in place at an early stage as the risk of
attempted suicide is greatest up to two years after a stroke," says
Marie Eriksson, senior lecturer at the Department of Public Health and
Clinical Medicine and senior lecturer in Statistics at the Umeå School
of Business and Economics, Umeå University, who conducted the study.
The study encompasses 220 336 patients who had a stroke during the
period 2001-2012 and was registered in Riksstroke, the Swedish Stroke
Register. Stroke patients that had attempted suicide were identified via
the diagnostic code for attempted suicide found in the National
Inpatient Register (National Board of Health and Welfare), and completed
suicides were found by the researchers in the national Cause of Death
register.
