How is a cerebrovascular accident diagnosed?
A cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is a life-changing disease for you and your family. Accepting that you have had a CVA is hard. You and those close to you may feel angry, sad, or frightened. These feelings are normal. Talk to your caregivers, family, or friends about your feelings. You may also want to join a support group. This is a group of people who also had a CVA.
