Patients with stroke should adjust their mindset and actively pursue treatment. Stroke, also known as cerebrovascular accident, requires prompt and active therapy. The prognosis is generally favorable, especially when active rehabilitation treatment is initiated within the first three months after onset, which can significantly improve the ability to perform activities of daily living. Patients are advised to seek professional medical institutions for standardized rehabilitation therapy, maintain a positive mindset, actively engage in functional exercises, and communicate regularly with other patients to share experiences. It is also important to actively manage underlying conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia.
