 +====== Stroke ======
 +{{INLINETOC}}
 +===== Primer =====
 +A **stroke** (also called a cerebrovascular accident, CVA) is an acute disturbance of the cerebral perfusion or vasculature. Approximately 85% of strokes are ischemic (blockage of a vessel) and remainder are hemorrhagic. Post-stroke,​ individuals are at risk for developing neuropsychiatric syndromes such as [[mood:​1-depression:​post-stroke|post-stroke depression]] and pseudobulbar affect.

 +  * Following a stroke, the onset of depression can be acute, usually occurring within 1 day or a few days of the cerebrovascular accident (CVA).[(American Psychiatric Association. (2013). Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.). Arlington, VA.)]
 +  * Approximately 33% of stroke survivors develop PSD at some point, with the frequency being highest in the first year of stroke (and declines thereafter).

 +===== Pseudobulbar affect =====

 +
 +**Pseudobulbar affect (PBA)** (also known as emotional lability, reflex crying or laughing, emotional incontinence,​ and involuntary emotional expression disorder) is a neuropsychiatric syndrome common in neurological disorders including stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson’s,​ traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, dementia, Wilson’s disease, and brain tumors. PBA is //not// a mood disorder, but rather an abnormal display of affect that does not match an individual’s true (internal) feelings.

 +===== Other Syndromes =====
