CHICAGO - Doctors may want to give stroke victims antidepressants right away instead of waiting until they develop depression, a common complication, new research suggests.
"We showed you could, in fact, prevent the development of depression after stroke," said Dr. Robert Robinson of the University of Iowa, who led the study. "I hope I don't have a stroke, but if I do, I would certainly want to be placed on an antidepressant."
