Increased interest in the relationship between affective disorder and long-term health consequences has generated recent examinations of depression and stroke. Observations suggest that depressive disorder is associated with abnormal physiological and immunological responses and a resultant increase in inflammatory markers. Given the high prevalence of stroke and associated costs for the community, it is important to understand the mechanisms that may impact on the outcome to achieve the best possible prognosis.
