[Correspondence] Neuropsychiatric outcomes after stroke – Authors' reply
The Lancet Neurology
Kallio comments that our review is a 'mixed bag' because we included both the psychiatric reaction to the outcomes of brain damage and the direct effects of damage caused by stroke. We deliberately took a broad and open view and discussed both types of causes, because to separate them clinically is generally impossible. Syndromes such as depression or apathy, and their persistence after stroke, are probably due to a multifactorial interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors.
