TLDR
The authors used structured clinical interviews to compare depressive symptoms in patients with poststroke major depression and patients with major depression without a known medical cause, and found the depressive syndrome profiles in the two patient groups were highly similar.Abstract:
The authors used structured clinical interviews to compare depressive symptoms in 43 patients with poststroke major depression and 43 patients with major depression without a known medical cause. The depressive syndrome profiles in the two patient groups were highly similar.read more

'Vascular depression' hypothesis.
George S. Alexopoulos,Barnett S. Meyers,Robert C. Young,Scott S. Campbell,David Silbersweig,Mary E. Charlson +5 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that cerebrovascular disease may predispose, precipitate, or perpetuate some geriatric depressive syndromes and the hypothesis is supported by the comorbidity of depression, vascular disease, and vascular risk factors and the association of ischemic lesions to distinctive behavioral symptoms.

Post-Stroke Depression: A Review
TL;DR: Poststroke depression has been recognized by psychiatrists for more than 100 years, but controlled systematic studies did not begin until the 1970s and recent meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials for the treatment and prevention of PSD have demonstrated the efficacy of antidepressants.

Major depression in stroke patients : A 3-year longitudinal study
TL;DR: Evidence is provided of a differentiation of factors likely to be implicated in the development of depression after stroke based on the period of time since the stroke event.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional brain electrical asymmetries discriminate between previously depressed and healthy control subjects.
TL;DR: The pattern of anterior and posterior asymmetry in the previously depressed subjects is similar to that found in acutely depressed subjects and suggests that this may be a state-independent marker for depression.

Clinically Defined Vascular Depression
George S. Alexopoulos,Barnett S. Meyers,Robert C. Young,Tatsu Kakuma,David Silbersweig,Mary E. Charlson +5 more
TL;DR: The patients with vascular depression had greater overall cognitive impairment and disability than those with nonvascular depression and the symptoms of vascular depression are consistent with lesions that may damage striato-pallido-thalamo-cortical pathways and other areas.

“Mini-mental state”: A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician
Marshal F. Folstein,Marshal F. Folstein,Susan E B Folstein,Susan E B Folstein,Paul R. McHugh,Paul R. McHugh +5 more
TL;DR: A simplified, scored form of the cognitive mental status examination, the “Mini-Mental State” (MMS) which includes eleven questions, requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.
A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician
TL;DR: The Mini-Mental State (MMS) as mentioned in this paper is a simplified version of the standard WAIS with eleven questions and requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.
Journal ArticleDOI
A rating scale for depression
TL;DR: The present scale has been devised for use only on patients already diagnosed as suffering from affective disorder of depressive type, used for quantifying the results of an interview, and its value depends entirely on the skill of the interviewer in eliciting the necessary information.

Nortriptyline treatment of post-stroke depression: a double-blind study
TL;DR: There was a significantly greater improvement in depression in patients treated with nortriptyline than in a similar group of placebo-treated patients, providing an important addition to the treatments available for stroke patients.
