Hi..I think she needs psychiatric as-well-as neurological consultation.  As post-stroke depression is a common presentation and she has other co-morbidity like mitral valve prolapse, so cardiological issues also need to be addressed as the choice of medication should also be judicious in case of such illness. So please consult a cardiologist, then a neurologist for her post-stroke neurodeficit & then a psychiatrist for her mood problems. Have a good health.
