Stroke survivor one of 12 thought about suicide or be better off dead, reveals a survey of concern in the United States. This more than suffering from other health problems such as heart attacks or cancer, and it proposes that depression after stroke is more serious than you might realize.
"It was a surprise" and shows the need for further treatment, said the study's leader, Dr. amitis towfighi serves from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. "When patients with depression are treated as they are more motivated to take these drugs and treatment and to live a full life."
The representative said "Kirk Douglas" in his book "stroke of luck" that, influenced by suicide depression after stroke. According to about 8 percent of stroke survivors had bothered by thoughts that they would be better off dead or hurting themselves. (Reed Saxon/associated press)The study was discussed Thursday at the American Stroke Association in Honolulu.
Americans had more than 6 million stroke; 800,000 occur each year in the "American studies" indicate that up to one third of stroke survivors develop depression, but few have looked at suicidal thoughts — single sign-on seriousness.
Towfighi serves said "active suicidal thoughts is not necessarily with the plan, but probably wish you hadn't survived this event."
She used the national health and nutrition survey, a project of the Government of the United States that give tests and questionnaires to a representative sample of adults. Cleared more than 17,000 people from 2005 to 2010.
It includes 678 who had suffered a stroke; 758 who had suffered a heart attack; 1242 with cancer, and 1991 with diabetes. The researchers do not know since when these problems if people still treated them.
Asked a question that many studies used to measure thinking suicide: "over the past two weeks, how often have you bothered by thoughts that you'd be better off dead or hurting yourself?"
According to about 8 percent of stroke survivors like these ideas, to 6 percent of survivors of heart attacks and 5 per cent of people with diabetes and 4 per cent compared with cancer.
Suicidal thoughts in people who scored high on tests of depression, and the younger, overweight, less educated women, the poor, or unmarried.
Depression may develop partly because strokes damage the very thing that controls mood – brain, said a neurologist with no role in the study, Dr. Brian silver from Rhode Island Hospital and Brown University.
"It's not necessarily a reaction to the disease. It is the same disease that causes depression, "by releasing harmful chemicals that can lead to it, he said.
Suicidal ideation is a known problem, but this study "puts a number on it," shows the need to watch out for and handle, silver said.
