“I wanna just not go, because maybe I’m sad” – views on depression from the perspective of people with aphasia, their care partners, and speech-language pathologists
People with aphasia experience depression as an embodied, fluctuating phenomenon that is linked to their communication abilities and social contexts. Results also suggest that depression screening tools should incorporate non-verbal cues and account for symptom variability, while interventions should target the bidirectional relationship between aphasia and depression.
