Deans' stroke musings: Neuropsychiatric syndromes associated with stroke: review of the literature

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.

Neuropsychiatric syndromes associated with stroke: review of the literature

This review should have never been needed because there is a complete database of all the stroke research out there and stroke protocols for every disability.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to review the main neuropsychiatric syndromes associated with stroke, their clinical features, impact on functional recovery, therapeutics, and putative relations to stroke pathophysiology and, when possible, to contextualize them to the Brazilian reality. A search was performed in the PubMed/MedLine and SciELO/Lilacs databases, using the terms stroke and cerebrovascular disease, combined with neuropsychiatry, neuropsychiatric disorders, psychiatry, psychiatric disorders, depression, anxiety, and dementia. According to the proposed objectives, the study reviewed stroke-related syndromes characterized by depression, anxiety, emotional instability, irritability, anger, catastrophic reaction, apathy, dementia, mania, and psychosis. These findings emphasize the lack of information on the therapeutic management of neuropsychiatric complications secondary to stroke, especially considering the burden on public health represented by cerebrovascular diseases. Following the improvement in the survival rates with the early strategies in stroke, the advancement of knowledge on neuropsychiatric disorders seems to have the greatest potential to improve the quality of life of patients affected by stroke.
