title: Depression after stroke.
abstract: Stroke is a physically disabling condition that requires major life adjustment and causes considerable stress for patients and their carers. Early diagnosis of post-stroke depression is essential so that treatment can be started early. Cognitive behavioural therapy, with its problem-focused approach, is the treatment of choice for patients with mild depression but is hard to access on the NHS.
