Are depressive symptoms and anxiety prevalent and associated with poor functional outcome in young adults long-term after TIA or ischemic stroke?
Depressive symptoms and anxiety remain prevalent a decade after stroke in young adults and are linked to poor functional outcomes, highlighting the need for long-term screening.
Even a decade after stroke at young age, depressive symptoms and anxiety were prevalent and associated with poor functional outcome. Therefore, even in the long term, treating physicians should be aware of the long-term presence of these symptoms as their recognition may be the first step in improving long-term functional independence.
