Note: Values are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. 1 p values between participants in the NoImp and Imp groups determined by the Mann–Whitney U test, 2 p values between participants in the control and PSD groups determined by the Mann–Whitney U test, 3 p values between initial and follow-up values determined by the Wilcoxon sum rank test, * p < 0.05. Abbreviations: PSD = poststroke depression; NoImp = PSD patients showing no symptom improvement; Imp = PSD patients showing improvement in their symptoms.
