“…The risk was highest during the first 2 years after stroke. [14] The other authors like Alajbegovic et al reported post-stroke depression to be more common in females. [15] Lastly the difference in the nature of depression is reported by Paradiso S who in his study found that in men major depression was associated with greater impairment in activities of daily living, and greater severity of depression was associated with greater impairment in daily activities and social functioning while in women, greater severity of depression was associated with prior diagnosis of psychiatric disorder and cognitive impairment.…”

Background: Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in today's world. With early intervention and improvements in critical care the mortality from stroke is decreasing. Today there are more chances of a patient surviving after a stroke than it was 2 decades ago. But this downward shift in mortality has caused increased prevalence of patients surviving with considerable neurodeficits and cognitive dysfunction. These patients are at increased risk of developing depression which may directly affect the recovery process. Yet the depression in post-stroke patient is rarely recognised and treated. Many a times such patients remain bed-ridden, neglected depressed and only a small number of these patients are treated for depression. Some of this has to do with the fact that there are not many randomised controlled trials dealing with this aspect. Gradually with increasing survival of the patients with stroke data is becoming available suggesting that the treatment of depression in post-stroke patient have a positive effect on recovery of these patients. We conducted this study to identify the prevalence and severity of depression in post stroke patients and to assess its relationship with demographic variables and stroke characteristics. Methods: This was a cross sectional study comprising of 52 patients selected on the basis of pre-defined inclusion criteria and was carried out in Department of Neurology of a tertiary care medical institute situated in an urban area. All patients attending follow up stroke OPDS having a history of stroke confirmed on imaging (Computed tomographic, MRI or MR angiography) were included in this study. Dependent variable of our study was depression while independent variables were demographic and clinical factors such as age, gender, marital status, financial status, residence status, education level and the clinical variables were stroke type, side and site of stroke. All the patients were interviewed using the preformed questionnaire specifically designed for this study. The data was tabulated and analysed. SPSS Statistics version 2.0 was used to analyze the collected data. Results: Forty four patients with stroke out of 52 (85%) met the criteria for depression. out of which 40 were males and 12 were females with a M: F ratio being 1:0.3. Demographic variables and stroke types (hemorrhagic versus thromboembolic) were not significantly associated with post stroke depression. A peculiar finding we encountered was infarcts in the middle cerebral artery territory were significantly associated with depression. Majority of the patients (87 %) had ischaemic stroke and most common location was found to be left hemisphere (60%). Most common territory was found to be left middle cerebral artery territory which was affected in 50% of the patients.81% patients were found to be having illness since more than 6 months. Depression was more common in male patients of more than 45 years of age. There was a significant association between the post stroke depression and left ...

“…This is mainly due to the high number of stroke patients in comparison to the limited number of therapists [23], [24], [31]. Therapy itself should also be more engaging to the patient, instead of the conventional dull exercises.…”

To my Friends and Family ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSFirst and foremost, I want to show my gratitude to my Dissertation adviser for giving me the opportunity to carry out a project in an area for which a have a keen interest: BrainComputer Interfaces. I would like to thank everyone at IBEB that has helped me and gladly volunteered to take part of the studies I conducted. I would also like to acknowledge the staff and faculty of my University, Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa for providing me with the academic tools and expertise to carry out my thesis, and hopefully to build a strong professional career.Secondly, I want to thank all my friends for providing moral support and inspiration.My university pals, A Centopeia and my recent friends that have accompanied me throughout a bumpy year. Also, a special thanks to my Erasmus buddies, the Wolfpack, who give me the drive to work hard so we can reunite as often as possible. Lastly, I want to thank my good friends from the North, whom I have met the longest, and always provide an escape to the troublesome life in the Capital.
