What do docs recommend to deal with post surgery depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
C/L Psychiatrist: Depression after surgery can have many causes. Possibilities include: pre-existing depression intensified by surgery; chronic pain; emotional responses to the specific procedure; post-surgical medications or physical changes. The best doctor to help discern between these and treat you effectively is a psychiatrist -- especially a consultation-liaison (c/l) subspecialist. http://www.apm.org/.
