Abstract

Post-stroke patients are at substantial risk of developing a spectrum of neuropsychiatric syndromes due to permanent damage to brain parenchyma. Existing literature suggest that depression, dementia, and anxiety are amongst the common organic mental disorders in post-stroke patients. However, little literature exists that report cases of bipolar affective disorder after stroke. Here we have mentioned the case of a 58-year-old person, suffered a cerebral hematoma, then developed depressive symptoms, and subsequently developed manic symptoms.
