Abstract
Sixty-eight patients with stroke were investigated to assess their mood state. Nearly half of them were found to be depressed; according to DSM-III-R, 6 of these were diagnosed as suffering from major depression and the rest from adjustment disorder with depressive mood. A significant relationship was found between mood state on the one hand, and daily living activities and Type A behavior pattern on the other.
