Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
It seems that you are having depression along with the previous history of stroke. This probably explains your depression, dizziness memory problems, problems with attention and feelings.You may need sertraline for a few months to take care of these symptoms.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
