Deans' stroke musings: Poststroke Depression and Anxiety: A Comprehensive Topical Review

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.

Poststroke Depression and Anxiety: A Comprehensive Topical Review

You're so fucking incompetent you haven't known of this earlier research? A review that wasn't needed for competent researchers well versed in stroke research! And the mentors and senior researchers completely failed in their jobs, not knowing about earlier research!

Post stroke depression(33% chance).

Post stroke anxiety(20% chance).

Abstract

Mental health issues after stroke are common and have a significant negative impact on functional outcomes, quality of life, and longevity. Despite their prevalence and impact, these conditions remain underrecognized and undertreated. This topical review synthesizes current evidence on the epidemiology, mechanisms, assessments, and treatments related to poststroke depression and anxiety, the most common neuropsychological sequelae after stroke, and identifies gaps and future directions.
