Could severe mood swings and depression be due to anesthesia?
human
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?
