A medical GAN that's also a disorder???? My favourite! I'll get around to reviewing this within the next 2-3 days but expect some initial comments at some point today (hopefully). IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 19:21, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Initial comments

This article looks a little short and I was able to find quite a few extra sources not used upon a quick google search. I'm not saying that this article doesn't go into enough depth, since I haven't fully assessed that yet, however I'm wondering if there is some information missing here? I'll list the other sources I found in case you want to see if they can add to the article:

I noticed you didn't stick with the typically used Template:Article templates/Medical condition. There's no issue with this I'm just a bit curious as to why? IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 21:33, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I'll go through these tonight and try to expand the page with them. As for not sticking with the template, I simply organized it in a way that felt natural to me, probably following some mental map of the academic medical sources I'm always studying as a medical student. Just-a-can-of-beans (talk) 20:47, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have incorporated several of these and expanded the page considerably, adding two new sections. I do wonder if the symptoms section is appropriate for this page, though, given that a much more thorough breakdown is provided on the major depressive disorder page. Do you feel that the new section is appropriate? Relevant: WP:DETAIL Just-a-can-of-beans (talk) 22:50, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's appropriate but I would have been happy with just one paragraph. Thanks for adding in some info, the article looks more thorough now. As I mentioned, no issues with the format, just curious! I'll continue with my review now. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 03:16, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source review

PSD has a reported incidence of 18% to 33%,[1] though it is commonly underdiagnosed due to overlapping symptoms between stroke and depression. I would move the ref to the end of this sentence unless there is some reason you haven't. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 20:01, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed this and the female gender change Just-a-can-of-beans (talk) 20:50, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Female gender -> Female sex as the source says sex not gender. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 20:01, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This influx can lead to neuronal death, contributing to brain damage of the emotional regulation and reward pathways, leading to the development of depression. appears to be unsourced. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 20:01, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. I tried to find a non-textbook source completely covering this topic, but figure 451-3 and the associated section in Harrison's Internal Med really is the best overview I can find. Just-a-can-of-beans (talk) 21:15, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Checked [1], [2], [3], and [4] and found no issues aside from what I have mentioned above. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 20:01, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Prose and depth

In the lead I would suggest you include that the symptoms mimic those of depression as well as a bit about diagnosis, epidemiology and outlook (if that is well studied). One sentence for each of those topics should be good. I would also mention that the mechanism isn't fully known as that's the kind of info someone reading the lead may want to know. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 03:32, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You repeat yourself quite a bit in the signs and symptoms section. Specifically with The severity and symptoms vary from person to person and which may be present in varying severity and number as well as most commonly involve a depressed mood and/or an overall loss of interest or pleasure in activities and 1. Down, sad, or depressed mood 2. Anhedonia (loss of interest or pleasure) I would be fine with you cutting this section to just Symptoms of post-stroke depression are the same as those of major depression.[1] The severity and symptoms vary from person to person, but definitionally and most commonly involve a depressed mood and/or an overall loss of interest or pleasure in activities. but it is up to you. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 03:32, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
though it is commonly underdiagnosed due to overlapping symptoms between stroke and depression could you expand on this? to a layperson I don't really see how the symptoms of stroke and depression overlap although I'm assuming you mean that the recovery from a disorder such as a stroke can be mentally challenging. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 03:32, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
include glutamate toxicity, HPA axis dysfunction, abnormal neurotrophic response, decreased monoamine levels I would spell out the full acronym for HPA in the first time it's used for clarity and wikilink the terms here instead of in the subsections but the wikilink part is more of a nitpick. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 03:32, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Screening for PSD should be a standard, routine I know that medical literature often gives recommendations but in Wikipedia it sort of looks unneutral. If specific organizations or guidelines suggest this then I'd recommend rewording it to reflect that. Otherwise I'd suggest rewording so it doesn't include "should". IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 03:32, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is essential to differentiate PSD from post-stroke apathy (PSA). similar issue to above. Maybe word as "PSA can present similarly to PSD and is at risk for misdiagnosis" or something like that. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 03:32, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure that medication or CBT need to be bolded although that may be a bit of a nitpick. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 03:32, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
