    i was reading an article that talked about how many stroke victims fall into depression due to the loss of normal function and frustration. Are these patients then treated for depression?

    I think they would be treated for depression if they are diagnosed. Some times these symptoms may be related to their stroke and loss of brain function instead of the consequence of their disability.
