Sažetak

Stroke is the third most frequent cause of death in developed
countries worldwide and the most frequent cause of
permanent disability. Post-stroke depression (PSD) is one of
the most frequent complications of stroke. Most of the symptoms
of PSD occur in in first two months, while minority of
patients experiences their first symptoms 12 months after
their stroke. Major depression and minor depression are the
most frequently recognized expressions of PSD. In treatment
of poststroke depression, multidisciplinary approach
is of great importance leading to early diagnosis and treatment
of stroke according to national recommendations, as
well as early neurorehabilitation. In order to evaluate PSD,
as well as functional deficit and level of physical activity, we
should use international, standardized questionnaires. The
promotion of physical activity as a part of healthy life style
has become one of very important issue in health policy in
many countries. A physically active lifestyle as we previously
reported is important in primary stroke prevention,
but also in stroke survivors in order to improve level of
everyday activities and in secondary prevention of stroke.
