Brief Summary: This study will determine the effectiveness of sertraline administration after a stroke in preventing the onset of post-stroke depression
Detailed Description: Persons who suffer from a stroke are at high risk for developing post-stroke major depression PSMD an illness that has a negative impact on post-stroke physical rehabilitation and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality Unfortunately early detection and successful treatment of post-stroke major depression improves but does not normalize stroke rehabilitation outcomes compared to stroke survivors who never developed post-stroke depression Therefore preventing the onset of PSMD and its associated disability is an attractive possibility This study is a placebo controlled 10-month double-blind trial of sertraline in the prevention of PSMD in stroke survivors with a 2-month naturalistic continuation phase The primary outcome will be the incidence of Major Depression post-stroke Additional outcomes will include the severity of depressive symptoms post-stroke and the level of disability experienced by the two treatment groups An exploratory analysis will also be conducted to elucidate participant characteristics that may be moderators of the participants response to the preventive intervention thereby refining the profile of disabled stroke survivors most likely to benefit from the preventive intervention
