Caregiving Tip

The San Francisco Chronicle had an article from the Associated Press on the benefits of treating stroke survivors for depression:

It's kinda obvious that depression can set in with the limitations that appear after a stroke, but I found it interesting that the article implies that for some people the anti-depressants can lead to some improvement in stroke symptons. There's a quote saying so, but no evidence presented, so who knows?

Also, the article mentions and a comment discusses the dangers that could arise from taking the anti-depressants themselves, so the whole matter warrants more investigation.

I wonder if anyone else has any experience to share on this...
