AB The  literature  on  psychiatric  illness  in  surgical  patients  is  limited  and  mostly  confined  to  small  patient  samples  within  surgical  subspecialties.  The  findings  suggest  that  depression,  anxiety,  and  alcohol  use  disorders  are  more  prevalent,  both  pre  and  postoperatively,  than  in  the  general  population.1  In  addition  to  pre-existing  psychiatric  illness,  surgery  may  be  further  complicated  postoperatively  by  delirium,  acute  stress  disorder,  posttraumatic  stress  disorder,  new  onset  mood  disorders,  or  substance  withdrawal.
