Strokes can double the likelihood of attempted suicide

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.
