Summary

This study tests a mobile app called Maya that teaches cognitive behavioral therapy skills to adults who recently had a stroke and feel depressed or anxious. Ten participants will use the app for a few weeks to see if it is easy to use and helps improve their mood. The goal is to find out if this app-based approach is a practical way to support emotional recovery after a stroke.
