Poststroke depression is common, affecting 40% of men in rehabilitation. Screening is crucial as no specific patient factors predict its absence.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Poststroke depression (PSD) pathophysiology is not fully understood.
  • Key factors like lesion characteristics, time since stroke, age, prior depression history, and cerebral atrophy require further investigation.
  • Depression significantly impacts stroke recovery and patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically assess depressive features, functional status, and brain structure in men undergoing stroke rehabilitation.
  • To evaluate the influence of lesion location, size, time since stroke, age, prior depression history, and cerebral atrophy on mood disturbances.
  • To determine the prevalence of major depressive disorder in this population.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 91 men undergoing stroke rehabilitation was assessed.

  • Depressive features were evaluated using DSM-III criteria.
  • Functional status and brain structure (via computer tomography scans) were systematically assessed.

    • Main Results:

    • Forty percent of patients met DSM-III criteria for major depressive disorder.
    • Mood disturbance was more severe in patients with right hemisphere lesions compared to left.
    • Depression severity correlated with functional disability and lesion size, and was associated with a prior history of depression.
    • Age, time since stroke, and cerebral atrophy did not correlate with mood.

    Conclusions:

    • Poststroke depression is prevalent in patients undergoing rehabilitation, irrespective of lesion location.
    • No specific demographic or anatomical features reliably predict the absence of depression.
    • Universal depression screening is recommended for all patients in stroke rehabilitation programs.
