A member asked:

Is there a such thing called a laughing stroke?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Emotional dyscontrol: A stroke can result in changes in emotional expression, and some pts have inappropriate outbursts of laughter or crying. A new product, neudexta, can help modulate or control this problem.
