This paper explores the mental health literacy (MHL) levels among young and middle-aged stroke patients, aiming to assess their understanding of mental health issues related to stroke recovery. Stroke is a leading cause of disability, and addressing its mental health implications is essential for improving recovery outcomes. This study investigates key factors that affect MHL, including demographic, social, and psychological elements. By evaluating stroke patients knowledge and attitudes towards mental health conditions, the research identifies gaps in understanding and offers insights into how tailored health education interventions can bridge these gaps. A mixed-method approach was utilized, involving both quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with stroke Patients and healthcare providers. The findings reveal a significant correlation between MHL and patients recovery experiences, highlighting the need for targeted educational programs. The study concludes with recommendations for integrating mental health education into stroke rehabilitation protocols, emphasizing the role of healthcare professionals in improving MHL among patients. These insights provide a foundation for developing effective health education strategies to enhance the overall well-being and quality of life of stroke Patients.
