Does post‐traumatic stress disorder occur after stroke: a preliminary study

Background and purpose. Psychological reactions after stroke have been recognized for some time. The present study examined whether psychological symptoms consistent with post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) could occur after stroke as a consequence of the sudden and unpredictable occurrence of a life‐threatening internal stressor.
