Stroke survivors with PTSD more likely to avoid treatment
(Columbia University Medical Center) A new survey of stroke survivors has shown that those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are less likely to adhere to treatment regimens that reduce the risk of an additional stroke. Researchers found that 65 percent of stroke survivors with PTSD failed to adhere to treatment, compared with 33 percent of those without PTSD.

1 in 4 stroke patients suffer PTSD
(Columbia University Medical Center) One in four people who survive a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) suffer from symptoms of PTSD within the first year post-event, and one in nine experience chronic PTSD more than a year later. The data suggest that each year nearly 300,000 stroke/TIA survivors will develop PTSD symptoms as a result of their health scare. The study, led by Columbia University Medical Center researchers, was published today in the online edition of PLOS ONE.
