Terry: Perhaps those of us who were at the CC in mid-January of 2001 were all among the "lucky" ones to have NOT had the post heart surgery depression. You advice is right on target.
I'm glad the subject has been broached however, since my depression was pre-maze, and I never thought about adding an anti-depressant to my drug regimen. I MAY have thought it was a sign of weakness at the time.
I urge ANYONE who is so suffering, to ask for some help, and if your doctor says "get over it", get another doctor, who understands this phenomenon.
