Life after a stroke.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Charles E. Buban
DEPRESSION can strike anyone, but people with serious illnesses such as stroke may be at greater, even lethal, risk.
A study done last year in the United States found that of 100 stroke patients followed for 10 years, depressed adults were at least three times more likely than the nondepressed to die, even after accounting for other key influences on their health.
Depression, according to the University of Iowa Medical School's psychiatry department, may bring about weight gain, make blood stickier so it clots more easily and trigger the release of inflammatory molecules that clog arteries-all potential risk factors for stroke.
The same study reported that about 20 percent of adults develop major depression after a stroke.
"The causes of depression are currently a matter of intense research as it is common among people who have had strokes. We would like to address that as well as correct some misconceptions about stroke," said Dr. Cristina San Jose, training officer at the Institute of Neuroscience at St. Luke's Medical Center.
