A member asked:

My husband had a ischemic stroke, he's having delusions about our marriage. he wont accept reality, insists that the delusion is real. ??normal??

Psychiatrist: True psychosis with delusions are not commonly seen after a stroke. I recommend an evaluation by a psychiatrist to see what your husband's mental status is and to get him help.
