How to deal with the anxiety and depression after surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get support: It is normal to experience anxiety and depression after surgery but not fun to cope with. Your body has undergone quite a bit of stress and it is trying to recover. Your emotional and physical energy comes from the same area so a drain on this energy from surgery affects how you feel. Talk with people in your support system and talk with your physician if it continues to worsen.
