<s>[INST] My husband had a massive heart attack a month ago & thankfully survived BUT now seems to have no desire to do anything & seems to get confused alot. I know that depression is a side effect after an attack but does it also effect your mental state ? We are always together when we visit the doctor so its difficult to ask these questions in front of him. Im not sure how to pull him through this - any suggestions? [/INST] Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. As you mentioned, depression arisen out of that traumatic incident could be one angle of approaching it. Motivation and counseling given by the heart specialist should help. Other complication for MI regarding mental state are possible due to so many physiological reasons. Do consult your doctor for other possible complications. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck. </s>
