Experiencing depression after treating a brain aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation (AVM) could happen to 1 in 5 patients. Unfortunately, it’s often under diagnosed, and survivors don’t know they should be seeking treatment for depression because they are dealing with so many other adjustments at the same time.
In this webinar brought to you by the Brain Aneurysm Foundation and The Neurosurgical Atlas, Dr. Stanley J. Berman (whom is a brain aneurysm survivor himself), explains what you need to know and how to get help if you experience depression after a brain aneurysm or AVM.

You gave an interesting talk but I'm a 35 yr. post op survivor of a massive hemorrhage due to an AVM rupture. You're info may be based on percentages as that's been my experience from my docs. My specific deficits are MY specific deficits and shouldn't be a part of the general population. Some of the things you mentioned affect me but most of what you spoke about didn't even come close to my problems. I think that many of us have been taught that size and location are the common denominators but there are are a couple of things such as the experience of the surgeon operating on vascular anomalies and the experience of the surgeon working in that particular area of the brain. When speaking about life after neurosurgery patients have to realize that their life will change, it may be minimal, but it will change. Mine has and I've tried so hard to overcome my obstacles but can't. I think that what you are doing is admirable and will help some patients, but we are all different and we all need to be treated for our own specific problems and not by a text book version. I wish you well and thank you for helping make AVM's and ANEURYSMS a part of the conversion. . I'm getting tired of people asking, You've had a what? I've never heard of that. God Bless

Yes this is so true… i had an avm bleed and gama knife and i never got any sort of help for my mentalhealth so i was forced to write music to get all my feelings out of my system.. So its an important topic. So anyone who suffers from this should know that they are not alone.

This is very true. I have not been myself after my pipeline stent and also had complications where i needed a second surgery. I had a baby and have severe ppd. The psychiatrist never linked my aneurysm being a trigger.

After my anurism I wasn't aware of possible side effects. When I was able I threw all medications away. I was treated using the B.E.S.T technique and ancient vedic breathing techniques. I still have moments but self talk getting myself onto the yoga.mat really help. I.hope you are ok and thriving.

My brother, I did not understand the video because my English is not good, but I have a question for my brother.. Is avm the cause of depression? Or does depression affect the person after he does the AVM operation?
