Sometimes anesthesia can trigger depression. The research I've seen is mostly about major surgery like cardiac bypass but there is nothing about someone prone to depression to begin with. When I was working we often saw patients need time to get that groggy tired feeling to go away completely whether or not they had depression. It's powerful stuff.
