Organ Transplants & LVAD Support
Navigating Life Before and After Major Medical Intervention
How It Affects Mental Health
Transplants and LVADs (Left Ventricular Assist Devices) introduce both physical and emotional complexities. You may face fear of organ rejection, anxiety over your health status, body image issues from surgical changes, or a profound sense of guilt or gratitude. These experiences can lead to depression, PTSD, and identity struggles, particularly when adjusting to life post-surgery or during ongoing device management.
