Hi Andydp, sorry that you are having such a hard time. I don’t have any personal experience with this. Maybe someone else will have something more to contribute.
What I can say is that where there are personality changes it maybe worthwhile to talk to your GP.
It is also never a waste of time to see a psychologist. I am aware though that this is not always possible for many people.
Hope you get some answers.
Hi
I have experienced something a-little similar recently after having a valve replacement.
I got told it is normal and part of the emotions from surgery.
