Nowadays, several Brazzavillian families are bereaved by the stroke, a pathology that threatens health in Congo. So, could this pathology (stroke) have a link with Stress, which is the source of many diseases in African societies? It is therefore possible to believe that stroke is a consequence of maladaptive stress. For, how can one understand that a person affected by a stressful situation automatically develops a stroke, such as the loss of a loved one to whom one is very affectionate. This is why we decided to make this our concern, in order to show our population in a general way that stroke is a consequence of maladaptive stress, and that stressful life events are the triggers of this pathology, in the same way as acts of torture, a fatal blow to the head and many others.
