FREQUENCY OF DEPRESSION IN POST STROKE PATIENT

Abstract

Background: Stroke is a major worldwide health problem, causing a large burden of death and disability. Aside from the acute physical repercussions, stroke survivors frequently endure long-term psychological difficulties, including an increased risk of depression. The complex connection between stroke and the prevalence of depression in post-stroke patients warrants more exploration. Identifying the variables that influence signs of depression in these individuals is critical for developing successful treatments and enhancing overall post-stroke care.

Aim: The major goal of this thorough investigation is to look into the relationship among stroke and the incidence of depression in patients. By diving into the complexities of this relationship, we want to find the important elements that influence the emergence and duration of depressive symptoms after a stroke. This study seeks to provide significant insights that may be used to guide targeted therapies to reduce the impact of depression on the quality of life for stroke survivors.

Methods: Our research used a multifaceted technique that combined quantitative and qualitative approaches. We performed a comprehensive examination of current literature to develop a baseline understanding of the issue. Researchers then conducted thorough statistical analysis to determine the relationship between stroke and depression frequency. Patient interviews and questionnaires gave qualitative data, providing a more nuanced understanding of the psychological experiences of post-stroke patients. The combination of these approaches enabled a thorough and holistic study of the elements that influenced depression symptoms.

Results: The purpose of the research is to provide insight on the complex link among stroke and depression frequency. Statistical analysis will reveal substantial relationships, whilst qualitative data will give useful context and insights into stroke survivors' lived experiences. The findings will help us better understand the diverse nature of poststroke depression and serve as a foundation for creating tailored therapies and support mechanisms.

Conclusion: This study aims to offer a complete examination of the relationship involving stroke and the prevalence of depression in post-stroke patients. By unravelling the nuances of this connection, we hope to educate healthcare practitioners, policymakers, and academics about the essential elements that influence depressed symptoms. The ultimate objective is to improve post- stroke treatment and the general well-being of those dealing with the psychological effects of a stroke.
