““Psychotic conditions are rare consequences of stroke, but they can occur. Symptoms can include delusions and hallucinations,94 paranoia, and mania.59 Poststroke mania, for example, may occur in up to 2% of stroke survivors and might be related to a previous history.33 There is some evidence that associates these symptoms with preexisting neuroanatomical risk factors, older age,94 and lesion location.99 Most psychotic conditions that emerge after stroke are believed to emerge in individuals with a history of psychotic conditions or in individuals predisposed to developing these conditions.8””
