Abstract

Cerebrovascular Accidents(CVA) is a chronic illness with sequalae of hemiplegia, speech disturbance, sensory and perceptual disturbance and gait disturbance as well as psychological dysfunctions including depression. Since post stroke depression, in particular, is an important factor in determining psychological adjustment and rehabilitation, an accurate understanding of depression is needed. However, previous research on post stroke depression yielded inconsistent findings. This article critically reviews lierature concerning post stroke depression, it's prevalence, course and relation to lesion location along with pertinent conceptual and methodological issues. In addition attempts were made to integrate various research findings and implications for CVA's rehabilitation and directions for future research are suggested.
