Sumario:Details regarding the presence of various pre-stroke factors and pathogenetic factors were obtained in 50 stroke patients. Of them, 9 who were unconscious/semiconscious were considered separately and 1 was dropped because of inconsistent reporting. The psychiatric symptoms were rated on a self-designed scale. The relationship between these two sets of variables were studied. Male sex and the presence of past history of stroke were related to emotional withdrawal. Right-sided lesion was related to depression. Hypertension was related to hostility. The unconsciosus/semi-conscious patients had high levels of anxiety and tension in the pre-stroke week.
