Description

In this episode:

  • Young people have strokes although the incidence may be lesser than older adults
  • Stroke should be a differential diagnosis when neurological symptoms are at play in young adults
  • Young adults can present with uncommon symptoms and underlying causes
  • After stroke in young patients, think about the invisible challenges, more often present than physical motor injuries
  • Have a dialogue about these invisible challenges, linking them with appropriate services where necessary
