What you'll learn
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
Distinguish between post-stroke depression and Involuntary Emotional Expressive Disorder [IEED].
Recognize at least 5 risk factors associated with the development of depression and/or IEED post-stroke, including the bidirectional relationship of these conditions.

Course description
Stroke is an acute medical event with long-term physical, cognitive,and psychological impact on the patient and the family system. Current treatment for stroke includes medical stabilization and some level of physical rehabilitation. However, the cognitive-affective deficits resulting from stroke can be devastating to patients (i.e., Involuntary Emotional Expressive Disorder [IEED]) and caregivers as well. With present trends in reimbursement shifting the greater part of the recuperation process away from the hospital setting and into the community, primary providers including psychologists and other allied health professionals, are playing a greater role in patients' recovery. Effective treatment of the psychological consequences of stroke can maximize a patient's gains, improve quality of life, facilitate a productive lifestyle, and reduce excess healthcare utilization. This course reviews the prevalence, etiology, and consequences of stroke. Emotional sequelae of stroke for the patient and caregiver are discussed, with a focus on depressive and pseudodepressive disorders. Evidence-based assessment of post-stroke psychological disorders is presented. Current treatment trends and directions for future intervention research are reviewed.

Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
