@avmcbellar, thank you for your quick and kind reply. I hope you continue to persevere and your recovery progresses. My husband’s PCP’s nurse summarized his issues as a decline in executive function. He expresses unprovoked anger at me, has a conversational style that is a monologue, is occasionally giddy, and shows much less empathy for hurting people than before the stroke. So, in that sense, the issue is affect rather than cognition. From what I’ve read online, there is mention of a drug therapy that is at best speculative. The only other option is a psychologist. But, my husband doesn’t see a problem and hasn’t listened to input from me or his siblings. I’m hoping someone here may have insight and experience, or be aware of emerging treatments and/or the best people in this area.
