Understanding correlative elements of post stroke depression (PSD), we record scores of the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD) for each PSD patient. Assess the degree of neurological deficit by the modified Scandinavian Stroke Scale (MSSS). Then analyze the correlativity of the patient’s HRSD with MSSS, and the relation of PSD with the location and course of lesion.
Conclusion: The depression degrees in PSD are positively correlated with the degree of neurological deficit post stroke; PSD is not related with the lesion location.
