Diagnosis and treatment of post-stroke depression / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Post-stroke depression (PSD) seriously affects the long-term prognosis of patients with stroke. The pathophysiological mechanism and risk factors for PSD have not been fully understood. Importantly, the diagnosis rate of PSD is low, and the corresponding antidepressant treatment is not timely or systematic, resulting in an increased risk of stroke recurrence or death. This article reviews the progress of screening, diagnosis and treatment of PSD.
