Mood Disorders in Transplant Patients

Mood disorders in transplant patients often arise due to the emotional and psychological challenges of undergoing major surgery and adjusting to a new organ. These disorders can include depression, anxiety, or changes in mood, which may be influenced by factors like medication side effects, the stress of recovery, and worries about organ rejection or health complications. Recognizing and addressing these mood changes is crucial for improving patients' overall well-being and can lead to better treatment adherence and recovery outcomes. Support from mental health professionals, family, and continuous communication with healthcare teams is essential.
