Post-stroke depression is a serious complication of ischemic stroke which has negative influences on patients' quality of life and on recovery from symptoms and the prognosis of the underlying disease.

Along with its antidepressant action, Opra had a marked anxiolytic effect. The agent had no adverse effects on the activities of daily living or cognitive functions, and produced minimal side effects.
