daughter  had brain surgery 8 years ago - at age 30 - she had no symptons at the time - but brain mri done to rule out MS - which she did not have - found small tumor  at base of brain - turned out to be benign - been fine since - until now she is very very depressed and cries a lot - could this be related? and....the surgeon who did surgery then, is no longer in our area
Dear Mam. Welcome toChatDoctor. I understand your concern. If the tumor was benign and completely removed it is unlikely to cause such problems. A tumor in frontal lobe of brain can cause personality changes and such problems. I would suggest you to share the surgeons' diagnosis prescription and her MRI Brain report with USO that we can comment on the nature of the disease and any relationship with depression. You should also take a psychiatrist opinion. I hope it helps. Ask me if any further query you have Stayed healthy.
