Without urgent implementation of effective primary prevention strategies, the stroke burden will probably continue to grow across the world, particularly in low-income countries.

After experiencing a stroke, people seem to have higher levels of depression than patients with similar levels of disability from other diseases, raising the possibility of a biological interaction.

1 in 3 people experience depression after stroke. The DSM-5-TR categorizes post-stroke depression as a depressive disorder due to another medical condition.

Delirium is a common occurrence after stroke, and usually presents itself within the first 72 hours after stroke.

Delirium, cognitive impairment, and dementia appear to be inter-connected in older adults.

Roughly 1 to 2 in 5 cases of stroke are haemorrhagic.
