The Evaluation Acute Traumatic Stress Level in Close Relatives of Stroke Patients.
CONCLUSION: The traumatic stress level of the relatives was not associated with the clinical features of the stroke patients. In the early phase, after the diagnosis of stroke, psychological support may be important to prevent CRPWS from PTSD. PMID: 29042878 [PubMed]

Depressive symptoms in stroke patients treated and non-treated with intravenous thrombolytic therapy: a 1-year follow-up study
Conclusions(1) Thrombolysed and non-thrombolysed stroke survivors had similar frequency of depressive symptoms although the thrombolysed patients had more severe neurological deficits in the acute phase. It can be assumed that if thrombolysis had not been used, depressive symptoms would have been more frequent. (2) Lack of the rt-PA treatment was associated with three-time greater odds of screening for PSD at 3  months post-stroke, after adjustment for other PSD correlates. (3) Therefore, thrombolytic therapy seems to have a positive, but indirect, effect on patients’ mood, especially in the first months after stroke. (...

Effects of A Benefit-Finding Intervention in Stroke Caregivers in Communities.
CONCLUSIONS: The intervention appears to be feasible for stroke patients and caregivers. The intervention is capable of improving the quality of life of caregivers and survivors, increasing the benefit finding of caregivers and reducing the burden of caregivers. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The benefit-finding intervention is capable of improving the health condition of stroke patients and caregivers. PMID: 32496892 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after Stroke: A Systematic Review
Conclusions: PTSD is common after stroke. Further research is needed to clarify its time course and identify the neurochemical factors and brain circuits associated with the development of post-stroke PTSD. Randomized controlled treatment trials targeting PTSD in stroke are warranted.

Preventing Chronic Emotional Distress in Stroke Survivors and Their Informal Caregivers
ConclusionsThe challenges and impacts of stroke most commonly reported by dyads were: uncertainty about future health, fear of recurrent strokes, negative emotions, and role changes post-stroke. Dyads and nurses agreed that resiliency skills such as mindfulness/focusing on the present, problem solving, gratitude/optimism, self-care, interpersonal communication and developing a supportive team of family, friends, and medical staff are beneficial to optimize recovery. The potential barrier to intervention delivery was accessibility, due to challenges of time and travel to appointments. Participants agreed that starting the i...

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Following Acute Stroke
AbstractPurpose of ReviewStroke is a devastating event that annually affects over 800,000 million individuals in the USA and is associated with significant individual and social costs. In this narrative review, we summarize current evidence regarding post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following acute stroke.Recent FindingsIn addition to the long-term physical consequences, it is increasingly recognized that psychological distress is common after stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA). Nearly 1 in 4 survivors of TIA and stroke report elevated symptoms of PTSD in the first year following their cerebrovascular event. T...

Functional seizures are associated with cerebrovascular disease and functional stroke is more common in patients with functional seizures than epileptic seizures
CONCLUSION: Our results confirm the initial observation of increased CVD in patients with FSe and further suggest that patients with FSe may be predisposed to developing another functional neurological disorder (FND) (i.e., functional stroke). We speculate that this may be due to shared risk factors and pathophysiological processes that are common to various manifestations of FND.PMID:35123242 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2022.108582

Associations between posttraumatic stress and stroke: A systematic review and meta ‐analysis
The objective of the present study was to systematically review the existing literature for studies examining the association between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and stroke risk and perform a meta-analysis to obtain a pooled risk estimate describing the association. A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, PSYCInfo, and CINAHL to identify relevant studies. Cohort and cross-sectional studies that reported PTSD exposure (i.e., PTSD diagnosis, probable PTSD, or the presence of PTSD symptoms) at baseline and the risk or odds of stroke associated with PTSD exposure during the study period were included in t...

Fatigue, psychological and cognitive impairment following transient ischaemic attack and minor stroke: a systematic review
Transient ischaemic attack (TIA) and minor stroke are characterized by short‐lasting symptoms; however, anecdotal and empirical evidence suggests that these patients experience ongoing cognitive/psychological impairment for which they are not routinely treated. The aims were (i) to investigate the prevalence and time course of fatigue, anxiety, depression, post‐traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) and cognitive impairment following TIA/minor stroke; (ii) to explore the impact on quality of life (QoL), change in emotions and return to work; and (iii) to identify where further research is required and potentially inform an in...

Post-traumatic stress disorder was associated with a threefold increased risk for stroke in a Taiwanese National Health Insurance Database
ABSTRACT FROM: Chen MH, Pan TL, Li CT, et al. Risk of stroke among patients with post-traumatic stress disorder: nationwide longitudinal study. Br J Psychiatry 2015;206:302–7. What is already known on this topic People with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are more likely to have psychiatric comorbidities and cardiovascular risk factors, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, smoking and dyslipidemia.1 2 While stroke can trigger PTSD,3 prior to this study it was not known whether PTSD increases the risk for stroke. Methods of the study This was a longitudinal follow-up study to assess for development of stro...

BACKGROUND:: Independence and reintegration into community roles are important patient-centered outcomes after stroke. Depression and cognitive impairment are common post-stroke conditions that may impair long-term function even years after a stroke. Howev...

Suicide Following Stroke in the United States Veterans Health Administration Population
In the United States (US), suicide is a leading cause of death, and most of these suicides involve firearms, highlighting the importance of lethal means safety in suicide prevention.(1, 2) US Veterans experience a suicide rate 1.5 times higher than US civilian adults and are more likely to use firearms as the means of suicide.(3) Risk factors for suicide within this population include demographic factors such as sex, age, race, and level of education, as well as health factors such as smoking status, psychiatric conditions (e.g., posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], depression, bipolar and anxiety disorders, schizophrenia...
