Do you think it's typical for people to become depressed when they are recovering from surgery? I've had my gall bladder removed and the recovery is going pretty darned slow. I've had several bouts of depression, each lasting a couple of days. Sometimes I think I'm just feeling sorry for myself and other times I think family members are being inconsiderate.

All I know is I'm not feeling well physically or mentally right now and would appreciate any suggestions. thanks.
