What Is The Treatment For Mood Swing And Depression After General Anesthetic?
I am 49 years old. 5ft 2 and 9stone. Just over 2 weeks ago I had a general anaesthetic for foot surgery and have since been experiencing mood swings, depression and my tolerance levels seem to be at zero. Is this normal? And if yes, how long is this likely to last for?

What Is The Treatment For Mood Swing And Depression After General Anesthetic?
Hi I admire you for positive outlook. It is not common. But post surgery many times that happens. No need to worry. It will go away as you start daily routine and busy in your schedule. If needed then consult psychiatrist. SSRI group of medicine will help if require. Apart from this try to keep yourself busy exercise meditation deep breathing and hyperventilation proper sleep stress free activity do pleasurable activity music and hobbies discuss with friends. All of this will help you to make stress free and gain your confidence . Thank you. Get well soon.
