Psychiatric Symptoms in Patients with Stroke: A Six-Month Follow-Up Study
We read with interest the paper by Al-Busaidi and Alamri,1 wherein the authors found that 18.4% and 23.7% of poststroke patients, respectively, showed clinically significant anxiety and depression. We conducted a similar study with a sample of poststroke patients, but considering as predictors of future psychiatric illness also the clinical features associated with stroke.

Evaluation of the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 as a Screening Tool for Depression during the Acute Stroke Admission
The ideal time to screen for poststroke depression remains uncertain. We evaluated the 2-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2) as a screening tool for depression during the acute stroke admission by determining the prevalence of positive depression screen during admission and by calculating the level of agreement between positive screens during admission and follow-up.

Reporting “specific abilities” after major stroke to better describe prognosis
If health professionals are to involve major stroke patients and their families in making decisions about treatments, they need to describe prognosis in terms that are easily understood. We suggest that referring to “specific abilities”, such as ability to be independent, walk, talk, eat normally, be continent, live without severe pain, live without major anxiety or depression and to live at home may be more easily understood than terms such as disabled based on the modified Rankin scale (mRs).

Sleep Disturbances After Cerebral Infarction: Role of Depression and Fatigue
Background: Poststroke sleep disturbances (PSSDs) are frequent and reported to be associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes. PSSDs appear to be related to a multitude of factors including lesion location and environmental causes. Moreover, depression and fatigue, which frequently develop in stroke patients may also contribute to PSSD development. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of PSSDs and factors related to PSSDs including depression and fatigue in hospitalized stroke patients.Methods: Patients who were hospitalized with acute stroke at the Asan Medical Center were evaluat...

Preliminary Screening Recommendations for Patients at Risk of Depression and/or Anxiety more than 1 year Poststroke
Goal: Depression and anxiety are important complications of stroke but are underdiagnosed in community settings. The current study identified which patients were at increased risk of developing either disorder more than1 year poststroke to assist in targeted screening. Methods: Crosssectional survey of 147 adults who had a stroke more than 1 year ago were recruited from stroke advocacy/support groups and an outpatient register. Participants completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and reported whether they had emotional problems as a stroke inpatient (single item: yes/no).

Comparison of Motor Relearning Program versus Bobath Approach for Prevention of Poststroke Apathy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Apathy is a multidimensional syndrome referring to a primary lack of motivation, frequent in survivors of stroke. And prior studies have demonstrated the negative effect of apathy on recovery from stroke. Methods: A randomized controlled study of acute stroke patients. Four hundred and eighty-eight patients without evidence of apathy or depression at the initial visit were consecutively recruited, 258 males and 230 female. Patients were block randomized into 2 groups. Group A (n  = 245) and Group B (n = 243) had physiotherapy according to Motor Relearning Program and Bobath in the first 4 weeks, respectively.

Cognition and Quality of Life in Symptomatic Carotid Occlusion
We examined whether cognition and depression predicted QOL in patients with carotid occlusive disease who have not had revascularization.Methods: Patients with unilateral carotid occlusion and history of TIA or a remote history of minor stroke were included. Patients underwent exam of memory, language, motor, and executive function skills and completed depression and QOL questionnaires (Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression [CES-D], Stroke Specific QOL [SSQOL]).

Self-Efficacy, Poststroke Depression, and Rehabilitation Outcomes: Is There a Correlation?
The sudden live changes of stroke survivors may lead to negative psychological and behavioral outcomes, including anxiety and depressive mood, which may compromise the rehabilitation process. Some personality features, such as self-efficacy, could play an important role in mediating the degree of post-stroke depression. Aim of this study is to investigate the possible correlation between specific psychological dimensions, such as poststroke depression and self-efficacy, and rehabilitation outcomes.
