N2  - In most western countries, 0.2 % of the population suffer a stroke each year. One-third of them die over the next year, one-third remain permanently disabled, and the other third make a good recovery. Depression is one of the most common emotional disorders associated with cerebrovascular disease. Longitudinal studies of stroke patients have shown that about 20% of these patients will develop major depression and another 20% will develop minor depression during the first year after stroke. Depression has also been demonstrated to significantly effect clinical recovery and mortality and, more important. Post-stroke depression responds to antidepressant treatment.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
