Not unexpected...: Iris, what you experienced is a lot for any one person. It is not surprising that you are experiencing low mood, sertraline or not. I admire your resilience. Recommend working closely with your provider to monitor mood over time - the other health events can have an impact on your overall level of mood, fatigue, and energy. Feel free to reach out to HealthTap providers for guidance or consult.

Several health: conditions and a loss can result in reactive depression. This is a condition that happens in response to identifiable stress, which you obviously have. It normally resolves eventually but getting supportive psychotherapy can smooth the process out and perhaps speed it along. Staying in this condition is not to be expected. Please continue to see your doc. Peace and good health.
