The Behavioral and Psychological Impact of Stroke and Management of Hemorrhagic Stroke
Presented by Presented by Michael Schmitz, PsyD - Neuroscience Institute, Abbott Northwestern Hospital and Donna Lindsay, MN, RN - Clinical Practice Coordinator, Neuroscience, Abbott Northwestern Hospital

The cause, management and long term disability of hemorrhagic strokes can be different than for the more common ischemic type. All types of stroke commonly result in psychological and behavioral changes in stroke survivors. This workshop will focus on the causes, current treatment and functional outcomes of hemorrhagic stroke. It will also explore the psychological and behavioral sequelae associated with all stroke types.
