Q: Stress a factor in stroke ?

My Mother had a stroke about one and a half years ago and it was pretty bad. She is completely paralyzed one her right side and requires constant care. I have bipolar disorder and it caused her some considerable stress over the years. Could the stress I caused her have contributed to her stroke?

Oh, I'm sorry this is concerning you! Although stress can be difficult on the body, I wouldn't blame it so much on your mother's stroke. I'm sorry she has lost so much, and you've lost so much now that she can't live life as before.
