Stroke in Young is a comprehensive and timely academic work that addresses the alarming rise of stroke among young adults aged 18–45 years. Authored by Dr Anirudda Deshpande, a renowned stroke neurologist with extensive international experience, the book explores the epidemiology, causes, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of stroke in younger populations. It highlights how lifestyle changes, metabolic disorders, genetic conditions, infections, and healthcare disparities—especially between high-income and low- and middle-income countries—are reshaping stroke demographics. The book goes beyond clinical science to examine the profound socioeconomic, psychological, and familial consequences of young stroke, emphasising long-term disability and productivity loss. With evidence-based insights, global comparisons, and future research directions, this book serves as an essential resource for clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and public health professionals committed to improving outcomes in young stroke patients.
