Can pharmacological, psychological and non-invasive brain stimulation interventions prevent depression after stroke? A cochrane review summary with commentary.

Are you that blitheringly stupid that you don't understand you attack the primary cause of depression to prevent it rather than trying to treat after it occurs? It's incredibly simple; you create EXACT 100% recovery protocols. Your patients will be too busy counting reps and looking forward to recovery to get depressed.

Abstract: 

Article discusses a Cochrane Review that was conducted to determine whether pharmacological therapy, psychological interventions, non-invasive brain stimulation, or combinations of these interventions can prevent the incidence of diagnosable depression after stroke. The population addressed were patients who suffered from a stroke and had no previous diagnosis of depressive disorders. Studies comparing pharmacological intervention to placebo, psychological therapy to usual care, and non-invasive brain stimulation to sham stimulation or usual care were included. Outcome information was available for nine pharmacological and two psychological trials, showing favorable treatment effects. The available evidence suggests that pharmacological interventions and psychological therapy may prevent depression and improve mood after stroke. Although, the current evidence is of very low quality resulting in serious uncertainties about the estimates of effect observed.
