Diversiform Etiologies for Post-stroke Depression

Zan Wang et al. Front Psychiatry. .

Abstract

After the onset of stroke, many patients suffer from emotional behavior changes. Approximately, one-third of stroke survivors are affected by post-stroke depression (PSD), making it a serious social and public health problem. Post-stroke depression (PSD) has an important impact on the course, recovery, and prognosis of stroke. The pathogenesis of PSD is very complex, involving many factors such as biological mechanism and social psychological mechanisms. This article provides a brief review of the hot issues related to etiologies of PSD.

Keywords: biological mechanism; default mood network; depression; post-stroke depression; social psychological mechanisms; stroke.
