Post-stroke Depression and the Aging Brain

Post-stroke depression and the aging brain

The incidence of mental illnesses like anxiety and depression after stroke is estimated at about 35% among the stroke survivals.  Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a frequent neuropsychiatric consequence of cerebral ischemia.  Since stroke and depression are diseases with increased incidence in the elderly, great clinical benefit may come from acquiring knowledge of the basic mechanisms underlying PSD.

A total of 65 381 women aged 50 to 75 years in 1996 were observed until 2006.
This study´s results provide compelling evidence that the diabetes-depression association is bidirectional.
