This secondary intervention is only needed because your doctor has completely failed at getting you 100% recovered. Put the blame where it belongs.

Abstract: Study evaluated the implementation and acceptability of Brainstorm, a group cognitive behavioral therapy program for stroke survivors with depression and their caregivers. Brainstorm is a closed group intervention consisting of up to 10 sessions of education, activity planning, problem solving, and thought monitoring and challenging. Participating stroke survivors and their caregivers complete assessment measures at baseline, posttreatment, and 1-month and 6-month follow-ups. A mixed-models for repeated measures data analysis was conducted with depression and anxiety scores for stroke survivors (Beck Depression Inventory-II and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) and the assessment of depression, anxiety and caregiver burden for caregivers. Acceptability was assessed by session attendance and written and open participant feedback upon completion of the program. Forty-eight community dwelling stroke survivors and 34 caregivers attended Brainstorm, with a median attendance of 88 percent of sessions. Follow-up assessments were completed by 77 percent (post-treatment), 46 percent (1-month), and 38 percent (6-month) of stroke survivors. Stroke survivors’ depression scores decreased from baseline to posttreatment; maintained at 1 month but not at 6 months. Anxiety scores decreased between baseline and 1-month follow-up. Caregiver burden, depression, and anxiety scores at 1-month and 6-month follow-ups were all reduced when compared with baseline. The Brainstorm group intervention for depression in stroke survivors appears to have been effectively implemented and is acceptable to stroke survivors and caregivers.
