Abstract
An experience of combined therapy (by Venflaxin and cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy) of post-stroke depressions of the rehabilitation inpatient department patients. 38 patients with organic depressive disturbance of various severity degree by ICD-10 were examined. By the domineering effect the patients were divided in 4 groups – with predominance of the anxiety component, melancholy-anxiety combined variant, “classical” melancholic depression and astheno-depressive syndrome with the unstable main effect. With use of the psychometric scales HADS, HARS, CGI-S и CGI-I effectiveness of the combined therapy was demonstrated with respect to all components of the post-stroke depression, advanced reduction of the anxiety component was observed. Good tolerability and safety of Venlafaxin was noted. A conclusion about the rationality to use Venflaxin in a combination with a cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy and rehabilitation of neurologic patients in the post-stroke period.
