Four hundred patients were studied in acute, early rehabilitation and distant periods of stroke. The investigation showed some peculiarities of psychopathology in cerebral stroke and proved their correction feasible. The data evidence that rehabilitative, psychotherapeutic and psychocorrective approaches combined with drug therapy could yield a better therapeutic result than usage of drugs only in stroke patients.
