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.

Poststroke depression: a review emphasizing the role of prophylactic treatment and synergy with treatment for motor recovery.
Abstract Neuropsychiatric manifestations are common post stroke. Depression has a prevalence rate of 9% to 34% in the initial 3 to 6 months following stroke and is the most common neuropsychiatric sequel of stroke. Poststroke depression (PSD) has a significant adverse impact on the course of rehabilitation following stroke, resulting in overall impaired functional outcome. An increased risk of suicide and increased mortality have been reported. The association of depression and stroke is well established, highly complex, and multifactorial in origin, and the etiology of PSD involves size, location and number of le...

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...

Suicide in stroke survivors: Frequency and risk factors
Stroke is a substantial health problem worldwide. In addition to the high mortality in the acute phase, stroke causes further mortality over time due to associated comorbidities and complications, including suicidality.1 Stroke survivors have an increased risk of attempted or completed suicide.2 Identified risk factors for suicidality include depression, previous mood disorder, prior history of stroke, younger age, and cognitive impairment.2 Limited data are available on the role of socioeconomic factors such as civil status (most stroke survivors are widows or widowers), education, or income in suicidality. The recognitio...

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...

Risk of suicide among stroke survivors in the United States
Stroke is the largest cause of disability and the 5th leading cause of death in the United States. Suicide is the 12th leading cause of death in the United States. However, little is known about the risk of suicide among people with a prior stroke.
