Hi friend, Welcome to Health Care Magic It is not likely / mood changes, usually depression has rarely been reported... / ‘Post hoc ergo propter hoc’ meaning "after this, therefore because of this" is not always true, but it may be wiser to give the benefit of doubt. If one wants to really check, may try to hold it / look for the problem / re-introduce - to check the feasibility! It may be incidental / it could have other reasons... Discuss with your doctor...
