Abstract

Depression is a frequently developed psychiatric symptom after stroke. Poststroke depression(PSD) causes not only psychological distress related to depression but also other disturbances in many areas such as cognitive function, activities of daily living and quality of life. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of accurate detection and appropriate treatment of depression is mandatory in patients with stroke. This review focused on the current knowledge of PSD.
