Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, it can be due to associated morbidity that can trigger anxiety and stress which can affect psychological state of a person. I suggest alongside neurosurgical management a psychiatrist review or sessions with a motivational psychologist and pharmacological treatment of stress as well as behaviour modification therapies may be helpful.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
