Tedium vitae in stroke survivors: a comparative cross-sectional study.
CONCLUSIONS: Tedium vitae is a common suicidal experience after stroke and may be among the earliest perceptible pointer to impending poststroke suicide. It is easy to assess and may be less costly to obtain an adequate sample size in studies aiming to understand the phenomenon of suicide in the stroke population.

Prevalence of suicidal ideation among stroke survivors: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Conclusions: This meta-analysis suggests a high prevalence of SI among stroke survivors. Routine screening of SI after stroke is needed to plan interventions aimed at reducing suicide risk. PMID: 33186090 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Wants Talk Psychotherapy but Cannot Talk: EMDR for Post-stroke Depression with Expressive Aphasia
CONCLUSION This is the first reported case demonstrating that EMDR can be effective for depression, even in those with severe expressive aphasia. In our case, there was no reluctance to disclose information, simply a neurological inability to do so. Through preparation, patience, perseverance, and plasticity (clinician flexibility, though perhaps also neuroplasticity), the patient’s PSD gradually improved, and she was able to reinvent her life within her limitations. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors gratefully acknowledge Eugene Schwartz, E.C. Hurley, and Mark Hubner for providing consultation during patient care. REFERENCES ...

Interactive Voice Response_A Novel Approach to Post-Stroke Depression Monitoring (P7.130)
Conclusions: Stroke patients with depressive symptoms were able and willing to engage in IVR symptom monitoring and the burden on the health team was minimal. Future studies are needed to understand why subjects dropped out of the intervention and to explore the efficacy of this approach.Disclosure: Dr. Rusche-Skolarus has nothing to disclose.

Interactive Voice Response—An Innovative Approach to Post-Stroke Depression Self-Management Support
Abstract Automated interactive voice response (IVR) call systems can provide systematic monitoring and self-management support to depressed patients, but it is unknown if stroke patients are able and willing to engage in IVR interactions. We sought to assess the feasibility and acceptability of IVR as an adjunct to post-stroke depression follow-up care. The CarePartner program is a mobile health program designed to optimize depression self-management, facilitate social support from a caregiver, and strengthen connections between stroke survivors and primary care providers (PCPs). Ischemic stroke patients and an in...

Suicide after stroke
In their article "Poststroke suicide attempts and completed suicides: A socioeconomic and nationwide perspective,"1 Dr. Eriksson and colleagues focused on suicide after a serious brain injury (stroke). The authors work at Umea University in Sweden and the study was supported by the Swedish Council for Health and the Swedish Research Council. The study followed more than 220,000 people for 12 years after their stroke. Within this group, the authors counted the number of people who were admitted to a hospital for a suicide attempt and the number of people who died due to suicide. They found that younger less-educated men who...

One In 12 Stroke Survivors Thinks About Suicide
About one in 12 stroke survivors in the U.S. thinks about committing suicide or wish that they were already dead. The finding came from a new study based on a nationally representative sample that was presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2013. The number of people who experienced a stroke and had suicidal thoughts was surprising, compared with individuals who suffer from other health problems, explained lead researcher Amytis Towfighi, M.D...

Stroke, Depression And Suicidal Thoughts
Nearly one in 12 American stroke survivors may have contemplated suicide or wished themselves dead, according to a study presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2013. The proportion of stroke survivors who contemplated suicide was striking, compared with patients with other health conditions, said Amytis Towfighi, M.D., lead author of the study and an assistant professor of Clinical Neurology at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and chair of the Department of Neurology at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center...

Proteomics Reveals the Dysregulation of Lipid Metabolism in the Plasma of Post Stroke Depression Patients (P7.163)
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that the perturbation of lipid metabolism and immunoregulation may be involved in the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder. Further investigation on these processes and proteins in PSD is key to understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of PSD.Disclosure: Dr. Mu has nothing to disclose.

New target for post-stroke depression
MiRNAs likely play an important role in the occurrence and development of depression, and can be used as potential targets for treatment of depression. Studies have shown that miR-137 expression is downregulated in the brain from depression patients with suicidal behavior. Moreover, miR-137 expression is also downregulated in peripheral blood from stroke patients. However, it is not yet known if miRNAs are associated with post-stroke depression. To test this, Dr...

Suicide in Stroke Survivors: Epidemiology and Prevention
Abstract Stroke is a dramatic event and is associated with potentially severe consequences, including disability, mortality, and social costs. Stroke may occur at any age; however, most strokes occur in individuals aged 65 years and older. Previous research has found that stroke increases suicide risk, especially among women and younger patients. The aim of the current review is to investigate the relationship between suicide and stroke in order to determine which stroke patients are at elevated risk for suicide. Moreover, we review the literature in order to provide pharmacological treatment strategies for strok...

Suicidal ideation and attempts in patients with stroke: a population-based study
Abstract Stroke is known to be associated with an increase in the risk for suicide. However, there are very few population-based studies investigating the risk of suicidal ideation and attempts in patients with stroke. The purpose of this study was to compare the risk of suicidal ideation and attempts between patients with stroke and population without stroke using nationwide survey data. Individual-level data were obtained from 228,735 participants (4560 with stroke and 224,175 without stroke) of the 2013 Korean Community Health Survey. Demographic characteristics, socioeconomic status, physical health status, an...

A study of suicidal ideation in acute ischemic stroke patients
Conclusion: Several factors may be associated with an increased risk of suicidal ideation in acute ischemic stroke patients, including pre-/post-stroke depression, more severe stroke, having no confidence in treatment, as well as living in rural region. Our findings may have implication in risk assessment and intervention for acute ischemic stroke patients in reducing the burdens of suicidal ideation.
