Organ Transplant Patients

Psychiatric Support for Transplant Patients

​​​​​​​The transplant journey is transformative and complex. We’re here to support your emotional health every step of the way.

The Mental Health Challenges of Organ Transplantation

An organ transplant can be life-saving but also life-altering. From the uncertainty of waiting and fear of surgery to the emotional weight of recovery and lifelong care, many patients experience intense psychological shifts during the transplant process.

At Total Wellness Psychiatry, we offer discreet, specialized psychiatric care for transplant patients navigating emotional challenges before and after surgery. Our approach is built on compassion, medical expertise, and a deep understanding of how physical illness and mental health are connected.

Common Mental Health Experiences in Transplant Patients

Whether you're awaiting a transplant or adjusting to life afterward, you may experience:

• Anxiety about surgery outcomes or organ rejection

• Depression or mood swings during recovery

• Guilt about receiving an organ (especially from a deceased donor)

• Identity disruption or fear of feeling “different”

• Sleep difficulties and fatigue

• Medication side effects impacting mood or cognition

• Grief, survivor’s guilt, or post-traumatic stress

• Social withdrawal or caregiver strain

These emotional experiences are real, valid, and treatable. You deserve support that respects the magnitude of your journey.
