The cause of post-stroke depression is likely due to a biopsychosocial etiology, meaning there are multiple intertwined factors that are associated with the development of depression after stroke. There are biological factors, such as physiologic changes in the brain and genetic characteristics.
Vascular dementia
This often happens because of a blood clot that is blocking the passage of blood through an artery. People who’ve had a stroke often report feeling symptoms of depression. Post-stroke depression is the most frequent psychiatric complication of stroke.
Post-stroke seizures are a frequent cause of remote symptomatic epilepsy in adults, especially in older age. About 10% of stroke patients will suffer a seizure, depending on risk factors, such as the type, location and severity of the stroke. Previous stroke accounts for 30-40% of all cases of epilepsy in the elderly.
