Post Surgery Depression - Common
I agree good topic Mark!
Post surgery depression is always something to be concerned about. Not just with the spiney population (though it seems more prevalent) - but surgery in general.
I've seen it clinically many of times in healthcare unfortunately and these are patients with good outcomes.
Even in my case, - I would say that I had some of this too. It is definitely a good idea to stay on the anti-depressants after surgery until the patient and patient's doctor feel they are ready to go off of them.
