bypass and depression
Marcella: I've been told that the is an aspect of anxiety in every case of depression. There is certainly enough anxiety to go around after CABG. The anxiety may be heightened in a younger person. Almost a year post op now (6/25/01), I still believe that rechanneling the anxiety and depression into the more positive aspects of your "new life" is the best antedote. By this I mean working on lowering risk factors, exercise, learning to cook your new diet, nutrition awareness, stress management, etc Dave C.
