In comprehensive stroke care, the focus historically has been on physical rehabilitation and preventing secondary cardiovascular events. However, the growing recognition of post-stroke psychiatric disorders, as highlighted in recent comprehensive reviews and studies, highlights the urgent need for a paradigm shift in stroke management. Beyond physical weakness, stroke survivors often suffer from a range of psychiatric ailments such as depression, anxiety, cognitive impairment, psychosis, and even rare conditions like post-stroke mania and delirium. These conditions not only impair quality of life but also complicate rehabilitation efforts and increase the risk of recurrent stroke [1-7].
