    but strokes now days can be recovered from almost 100%

    Aphasia management and recovery has come a considerable way in the last decade and a half, but people who have strokes young do face a range of issues:

    • higher risk of diabetes
    • ~20 percent chance of death in the next 20 years (excluding deaths in the first 30 days), usually from further strokes
    • ~20 percent chance of anxiety
    • ~25-50 percent chance of depression
    • ~50 percent chance of long term cognitive impairment in at least one domain of cognitive functioning
    • up to ~50 percent experiencing further pain (depending on the measure used to define recurrent pain)

    However for young people with strokes the functional outcomes (i.e. ability to live independently) are pretty good, only ~5-20 percent reporting poor outcomes and most people being able to return to work

    The current and last US presidents are in severe cognitive decline and they're doing basically fine promoting the US empire
