Post-stroke dizziness, depression and anxiety

Objective Vestibular and psychiatric disorders are very closely related. Previous research shows that the discomfort and dysfunction caused by dizziness in patients can affect psychological processes, leading to anxiety and depression, and the irritation of anxiety and depression can aggravate the discomfort of dizziness. But the causal relationship between dizziness in the recovery period of stroke and Post-stroke depression (PSD) / Post-stroke anxiety (PSA) is not clear. Identifying the causal relationship between them can enable us to conduct more targeted treatments.
