description | INTRODUCTION: Clinical case about a 62 year old patient, diagnosed with mixed anxiety-depressive disorder. In current treatment with Paroxetine, Clorazepate and Trazodone. She presents low spirits secondary to a neurological process (stroke + amyloid angiopathy+ epilepsy+ cognitive impairment) and difficulties in performing daily activities. Her daughter reports that she is totally dependent, she spends the whole day in bed. On examination we observe a dull mood, without emotional reactivity. Lack of motivation. Psychomotor slowness.Significant cognitive impairment with difficulties in performing daily activities. Mnesic faults. OBJECTIVES: Clinical case shows radiological and cognitive improvement with vortioxetine METHODS: Last diagnoses: August 2020: HSA OF THE FRONTAL AND PARIETAL GROOVES RIGHTS September 2020:SYMPTOMATIC FOCAL EPILEPSY SECONDARY TO LEFT FRONTOPARIETAL INTRAPARENCHIMATOSUS HEMATOMA December 2020:MYELOID ANGIOPATIA February 2021:SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE March 2021:DEPRESSIVE DISORDER SECONDARY TO MEDICAL ILLNESS - MODERATE COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT RESULTS: Spectacular improvement in mood and cognitive deficit.
