The emotional impact of stroke is the hardest to deal with - Ruth's story
Ruth Hector from Stirling, had two strokes at the age of 30. Whilst she recovered well from the first stroke, the second stroke left her with speech and mobility problems. The hardest aspect of her stroke was dealing with the psychological effects of her stroke which left her anxious and depressed. She didn’t receive the support she needed at the time, so is now campaigning with the Stroke Association to draw attention to this often neglected area of stroke. If you are interested to join Ruth in her efforts to raise awareness of the emotional impact of stroke please sign up to our campaigns network. Email: Campaigns@stroke.org.uk
