Keywords:
Abstract
This research article aims to investigate the prevalence and nature of psychiatric morbidity among stroke outpatients at Kenyatta National Hospital in Kenya. Stroke patients often experience comorbid psychiatric disorders, which can significantly impact their overall well-being and treatment outcomes. However, limited research has been conducted on psychiatric morbidity in stroke outpatients in Kenya. This study utilized standardized psychiatric assessment tools to evaluate the presence and nature of psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and cognitive impairment. Sociodemographic and clinical data were also collected to explore potential correlations. The findings contribute to a better understanding of psychiatric morbidity in stroke outpatients in Kenya and have implications for patient care and management.
