What Causes Depression After A Stroke?

my husband had a stroke about 4 weeks ago. I called 911 as soon as I suspected any problem. the doctor at the hospital said he suspected the paramedics got here before it was even over. He s in rehab now. I feel that he is very depressed and I m not sure they think so. Is that something common after a stroke? He also tells me his brain is not working right.
