Too Much and Too Little: Antidepressant Treatment in Stroke Survivors during the First Year

CONCLUSIONS: Depression occurred in one in three stroke survivors. Among these, only one in two received ADT, irrespective of PSD severity after discharge. In contrast, one in eight stroke survivors without depressive disorder received ADT, about half of them in the absence of earlier PSD. In conclusion, we found evidence of both under- and overtreatment of PSD with ADT, which emphasizes the need for a more stringent implementation of current PSD guideline recommendations.PMID:35864760 | DOI:10.31083/j.jin2104108
