Psychologist,  's  Response
Some people experience numerous complications following a stroke, while others experience few. The time between when the stroke occured and when emergency treatment is given greatly impacts the amount of damage done, as well as the number of complications that follow.

Complications following a stroke depend not only on treatment, but also where in the brain the stroke occurred. A stroke can damage the brain's ability to communicate with the rest of the body. Because a stroke will typically damage only certain areas of the brain, resulting complications tend to be clustered—whatever part of the body or body function that the damaged part of the brain controls will be affected. This could mean loss of muscle control of one side of the body, a loss of the muscles that control speech, or other muscle groupings. A stroke may also affect the area of the brain that controls a particular cognitive skill, such as memory or mood stability.

I will suggest you to take your father to any psychologist to get him motivated to take further treatment. Also please mention the age of the patient and summary of the MRI report so that I can help you more. All the best. God bless.
