Description
Stroke recovery trains the body while the mind waits, and Cristina Leblanc, Helen-Maria Vasiliadis, and Isabelle Gaboury count what that waiting costs, in a 2026 conference abstract on post-stroke rehabilitation in Canada. Sixty-eight survivors in a rehabilitation trial reported what mental health support they had received by six months.
Seventy-one percent had received none at all. Of the rest, fifteen percent got counseling or therapy, twelve percent medication, and twelve percent information. Yet among those rating their care, seventy-nine percent felt fully helped, while one in five reported partly met or unmet needs, mostly for psychological and family support. Barriers included not knowing services existed, access limits, communication trouble after stroke, and feeling their distress was minimized. The authors call the one-in-five figure the actionable gap.
