Management of Depression After Stroke
Stroke 36:1092-1097, Hackett,M.L.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
There is insufficient randomized evidence to support the routine use of antidepressants for the prevention of depression or to improve recovery from stroke. Although antidepressants may improve mood in stroke patients with depression, it is unclear how clinically significant such modest effects are in patients other than those with major depression. There is a pressing need for further research to better define the role of antidepressants in stroke management.
