In this study, child mental health and mild traumatic brain injury strongly co-occurred but, apart from anxiety, those associations mostly disappear when prior mental health is accounted for.

Nature Mental Health's Research Briefing section covers our study, led by Jae Won Suh, on outcomes of stroke survivors with anxiety and depression treated with primary care psychological therapy. Full text of original study

Unknowns: the benefits for stroke survivors who were never referred or never referred themselves. Cognitive or language impairments may have 'counted out' some potential patients. Regardless, NHS Talking Therapies seems useful for many stroke survivors.

Although improvement and recovery rates were high, stroke survivors were less likely to recover and more likely to deteriorate than non-stroke patients, partly due to physical comorbidities.

Timing mattered: patients who started therapy within 6 months of their stroke were more likely to recover than those who waited over a year.

Using NHS data, the study looked at 7,597 stroke survivors who accessed NHS Talking Therapies. On average, therapy led to moderate improvements in depression and large improvements in anxiety.

What is the largest neuropsychiatry service in England? Counter-intuitively, it's probably NHS Talking Therapies. In a new study led by Jae Won Suh (posted here on her behalf), we tracked every stroke patient through NHS TT to look at treatment outcomes.
