Counseling

Heart surgery can affect mental and emotional wellbeing. If you experience symptoms of depression, your doctor can refer you to social workers and psychologists who specialize in the psychosocial effects of cardiac surgery. You can also join support groups or schedule one-on-one therapy sessions.
