“…The Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong took the lead in the study focusing on the frequency, clinical manifestations, and radiological predictors of depression after stroke in Hong Kong area. It was a single‐center follow‐up study, with Structured Clinical Interview for DSM‐IV as the main scale [9–12]. Quite a few cross‐sectional or retrospective studies on PSD have also been published by authors from Taiwan, China.…”

“…With respect to PSEI, a recent study reported that when PSEI and non-PSEI groups were compared with respect to health-related QOL, significant differences were found in the four domains (General Health, Social Function, Mental Health, and Role Limitations due to emotional problems) of the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey 12. Similarly, in our study, the associations with the psychological and social relationship domains of the WHOQOL-BREF remained significant after adjustment for previous stroke and scores on the NIHSS and BI.…”

ObjectiveWe aimed to investigate the associations of post-stroke emotional incontinence (PSEI) with various psychiatric symptoms and quality of life independent of potential covariates in survivors of acute stroke.MethodsA total of 423 stroke patients were assessed within 2 weeks of the index event. Psychiatric symptoms were assessed by the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R), which has nine domains comprising Somatization, Obsessive-Compulsive, Interpersonal Sensitivity, Depression, Anxiety, Hostility, Phobic Anxiety, Paranoid Ideation, and Psychoticism. Quality of life was measured using the World Health Organization Quality of Life abbreviated form (WHOQOL-BREF), which has four domains related to physical factors, psychological factors, social relationships, and environmental context. Associations of PSEI with scores on the SCL-90-R and WHOQOL-BREF were investigated using pairwise logistic regression model adjustment for potential sociodemographic and clinical covariates.ResultsPSEI was present in 51 (12.1%) patients. PSEI was associated with the Obsessive-Compulsive, Interpersonal Sensitivity, and Hostility symptom dimensions of the SCL-90-R and with the psychological factors and social relationships domains of the WHOQOL-BREF independent of important covariates including previous stroke, stroke severity, and physical disability.ConclusionPSEI causes some aspects of psychiatric distress and negatively affects psychological and interpersonal quality of life. For patients with PSEI, special attention to psychiatric comorbidity and quality of life is needed, even in the acute stage of stroke.

“…A study in stroke survivors (n = 385) found that patients with poststroke emotional incontinence (PSEI) (n = 58; 15.1%) 3 months following the (latest) stroke had worse SF-36 physical and mental component summary scores than patients without PSEI [59]. Diagnosis of PSEI in this study was made on the basis of a psychiatric interview and structured questionnaire and defined as excessive or inappropriate laughing, crying, or both, compared with the premorbid state, on at least 2 occasions following the latest stroke, according to both the patient and one or more cohabitating relative.…”

Background: Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) is a neurological condition characterized by involuntary, sudden, and frequent episodes of laughing and/or crying, which can be socially disabling. Although PBA occurs secondary to many neurological conditions, with an estimated United States (US) prevalence of up to 2 million persons, it is thought to be under-recognized and undertreated. The PBA Registry Series (PRISM) was established to provide additional PBA symptom prevalence data in a large, representative US sample of patients with neurological conditions known to be associated with PBA.
