My father Had a Stroke

Hello, please help me out. My father had a stroke on 3rd June 2016. He is Just 64 but he has BP and Sugar issues. He was getting better after stroke treatment, but suddenly his heart rate dropped. We got him admitted then later he became very aggressive. He shouts he abuses. He was not like this prior to the stroke. He was a cool and calm person.

He walks easily, but sometimes he does not take food and tablets. He wants to go out of the house.
How do I tackle this?

We have hope that he will be alright. The doctor also told he will be alright but it will take time.

We all love our Dad A lot. We cant see him like this shouting abusing and not taking food.

Please help....

PTSD

About 23% of survivors get PTSD post-stroke. Have your doctor evaluate her for that.According to an Australian study 33% of survivors develop dementia although a later study only found the percentage to be 20%. She has to see a doctor for proper evaluation.
