I have had major depressive disorder, probably since age 26..I am now 58....Despite decades of counseling, medications etc etc nothing has helped and it's gotten worse over time.

I dread the day I get the valve surgery as it appears post op depression is a major concern

Is the post op depression really this severe and widespread ?

Great explanation of post op depression related to Robin Williams surgery and death as well as his battles with depression.
