Ischemic Stroke in Young Adults and Preexisting Psychiatric Disorders

Abstract: Previous studies showed that psychiatric disorders such as major depression, bipolar disorders, and alcohol misuse are associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke. However, the link between psychiatric disorders and stroke in the young population is rarely investigated.Using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, 2063 young adults aged between 18 and 45 years with ischemic stroke and 8252 age- and sex-matched controls were enrolled in our study between 1998 and 2011.

“…[38][39][40][41] A better understanding of barriers to evidence-based stroke care in patients with psychiatric comorbidities is particularly critical because mental illness in and of itself confers an increased lifetime risk of stroke. [42][43][44] Moreover, patients with psychiatric conditions represent a disproportionately high number of stroke patients under the age of 45, 45 even after accounting for demographic and clinical factors. Thus, addressing treatment inequities in patients with psychiatric conditions is an important component of preventing long-term disability from stroke.…”
