Depression Goes Untreated After a Stroke
There are approximately 500000 strokes that occur in the United States. Of those strokes about 70 to 80 percent of patients survive the stroke. Of those patients who survive the stroke depression occurs in approximately 40 to 50 percent of patients. Major depression occurs in about 20 percent of patients. Despite this most patients are not routinely screened for depression and only a small minority are properly diagnosed.
