Summary: ABSTRACT: Depression following stroke, also referred to as Post-Stroke Depression (PSD), long been recognized as one of the most common and important complications of stroke. It may impede rehabilitation, recovery, and quality of life. Furthermore, it may reduce survival and increase the risks of recurrent strokes. Thus early recognition of PSD and initiation of pharmacologic treatment is of great importance in the reduction of stroke morbidity and mortality. Improvement of mood symptoms is associated with better functional capacity. The sooner the depressive features abate, the more motivated the patient becomes, and much functional recovery is expected. This study looked into the adherence to the Canadian Best Practice Recomendation for Stroke Care for PSD among stroke patients which includes all stroke patients admitted from 2012 - 2015. Of all the stroke patients that fulfilled the inclusion criteria, 161 (95.06%) patients were screened for PSD and 9 (25.33%) patients were diagnosed to have PSD and were given appropriate treatment. Factors that statistically proposed to cause PSD were also looked into that might have influence physicians to screen patients, only location of stroke (pons and multiple location) and co-morbidities (diabetes mellitus) were statistically significant.
