What is your role in therapy? (Continued)

Depression

Suffering from depression after a stroke is very common.

Depression can make you feel:

•  sad

•  irritable

•  pessimistic

•  worthless

•  like avoiding people

•  tired and lethargic

Motivation is very important to your recovery.

Depression can make this harder.

Your doctor can help.

You are not alone.
