Post Stroke Mood Disturbances
My father got stroke at 2nd May and right side got paralyzed and had a big infarct on left side of brain and couldn't able to talk. We took him to hospital.
After getting discharged after 3 weeks he started having emotional disturbances, refusing to eat, crying very loudly, becoming violent sometime, not feeling guilty of done anything wrong, unable to understand what we are saying and not even make us understand what he wants. He gets angry, cries, shout most of the time and can only utter word 'aaaaaa'. We arranged physical and speech therapy and in that also he refuse to take therapy and cries and shouts.
His physical condition has improved but brain condition has became worse. We admitted him to CMC and the doctors said that left side is damaged and can't be recovered. His speech is the same as it was 4 month ago.
Us caregivers are having very hard time with this because we have to look after him continuously and he don't even cooperate.

Sir you need to take a series of treatment. The mental health disturbance might be because he feels low after the stroke.
