Core Tip	A number of studies have assessed the influence of depression on the risk of cardiovascular disease. A growing literature indicates a link between depression and cerebrovascular events, although the direction of this association remains unclear. Numerous data have emerged suggesting an association between depressive symptoms and subsequent risk of stroke, thus leading to the hypothesis that a direct causality between depression and stroke exists. Depression has been also established as an important consequence after stroke, affecting functional recovery and quality of life. Contemporary epidemiologic studies, potential mechanisms and specific aspects of the complex relation between depression and stroke will be discussed.
