Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi. Thanks for the query. May I know your age, whether you suffer from diabetes, hypertension, thyroid function abnormalities etc. & if any of these is YES; what medications & in what doses you are taking for the same. Based on your history of recent stroke (extent unconfirmed); you may be suffering from anxiety or depressive episodes or an admixture of both! Psychiatric problems like depression, anxiety are known to occur after stroke & depend upon extent & involvement of area of brain affected by stroke. Hence kindly get in touch your Neurologist & request for a assessment by a Psychiatrist for confirmation of diagnosis. Once ascertained, an antidepressant like sertraline, escitalopram, tineptine with lifestyle modifications & counselling (if required) shall help you through. Good Luck
