Neurologist 's  Response
If stroke occur in specifically frontal lobe, there can be immediate behavioral changes.
Also similar symptoms can be due to involvement of speech area (broca's & wernicke's area of brain).

Few patients also get secondary depression after stroke.

I advice you to consult the neurologist.
