Abstract
With the exception of depression and cognitive changes, there has been relatively little attention paid to psychiatric disorders or to psychosocial and behavioral changes that may present after stroke. This article addresses that deficiency by reviewing psychiatric symptoms and syndromes and other psychosocial and behavioral problems that may present in the stroke survivor: mood disorders other than unipolar depression, anxiety and adjustment disorders, substance abuse, sexual dysfunction, sleep disturbance, organic mental disorders, and behavioral problems. The special concerns and functional impact these presentations have in the stroke population are discussed along with diagnostic and treatment options.
