6 years ago You may have another disorder in mind? Strokes are usually caused by either a blood clot in the brain's circulation (ischemic stroke) or when blood fills a portion of the skull and the pressure on brain tissue cuts off circulation (hemorrhagic stroke).
More info: http://www.stroke.org/understand-stroke/what-stroke
In theory I suppose a stroke could happen to anyone (as is the case with any disease), but those at high risk include those with:
- High blood pressure
- Smokers
- Diabetes
- Obesity/poor diet/poor exercise
- Cardiovascular diseases
- Atrial fibrillation (a chronic disorder which often develops after having a heart attack)

Caused by low mood. Could be available to those who anxiety disorders or depression ONLY and could be a MTB health issue? Seems unreasonable to give a chance for it to everyone.
