ABSTRACT
The treatment of depression after stroke is a difficult clinical problem. Many of the medications used to treat patients with depression in the general population have significant potential side effects that are of particular concern in elderly patients. We reviewed the records of ten patients with stroke treated with methylphenidate for depression during an inpatient rehabilitation program. Improvement was noted in seven patients. This suggests that methylphenidate in the treatment of post-stroke depression merits further study.
