title: [Depressive disorders in elderly and senile patients in the period of rehabilitation after acute ischemic stroke].
abstract: To definite the probability of occurrence of depression after suffering an ischemic stroke in elderly and senile age and the impact of depressive disorders on the results of the rehabilitation treatment the comparative study of 186 patients aged over 70 and 110 patients at the age of 33-60 years was carried out. The results testify that the frequency of occurrence and severity of post-stroke depression do not depend on age. But the depression has a more significant impact on the results of the rehabilitation treatment in the elderly than in patients of the young and middle age, which is explained by a long existence in the period prior to the stroke of the emotional-volitional disorders, characteristic for the elderly and senile age. Expressed motor disturbances as the results of a stroke in elderly and senile age are quite rarely contribute to the development of depression, although a combination of severe paralysis with depression has a negative impact on the results of rehabilitation in older patients. Speech and pelvic disorders are not the triggers for depression and do not have negative influence on the results of restorative treatment of patients of elderly and senile age; the situation is opposite in younger patients.
