Patients with stroke have a high prevalence of depression and unawareness of emotions or alexithymia. Here we investigated the effects of the serotoninergic and noradrenergic reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) venlafaxine in comparison with the SSRI fluoxetine on alexithymia severity in patients with DSM-IV post-stroke major depressive-like episode (PSD).

Patients with stroke have a high prevalence of depression and unawareness of emotions or alexithymia. Here we investigated the effects of the serotoninergic and noradrenergic reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) venlafaxine in comparison with the SSRI fluoxetine on alexithymia severity in patients with DSM-IV post-stroke major depressive-like episode (PSD).
