Yes and yes. I went to talk therapy about 6 months after my reconstruction, 8 months after my double mastectomy. We talked about a lot. Ultimately, with the advice of my PCP and the therapist’s suggestion, I agreed to take Wellbutrin which helped with anxiety, mood swings, and focus. Start with talk therapy. It doesn’t mean you have to take another drug. This is what worked for me because with the reconstruction, as natural and lovely as I look, I never have a day without mild discomfort. But this world is the best for my situation.
