Hi , Thank you for using health care magic.I can understand your concern regarding your husband's behavior.Stokes affecting the frontal part of brain what we called frontal lobe has the highest rate of behavioral changes. Neuron loss due to stroke affect many area of the person's life and resulting frustration many time grow in to agitated depression.Depression is also very much common in person suffered from strokes.From your side you should be remain calm and see his behavior as a symptom of brain condition rather than mean behavior.Consult psychiatrist he would be in best position to help you, Medication like antidepressant , benzodiazepines , and some times low dose antipsychotics help to improve this symptoms.Hope this will help you.Regards.
