Core Tip

Core Tip: In recent years, research on acute cerebral infarction has not only focused on the effects of the infarction on the body, but also the psychological effects. In this study, we found that long disease course may be the main factor leading to psychological problems in patients, and female patients with a high incidence of emotional disorders are more likely to have psychological problems. Such groups require more attention and psychological counseling.
