Does living with PTS affect mental health?

Read as an instruction, this question asks whether mood belongs on the list of things to report about post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS).

Yes, include mood when you report symptoms

Cleveland Clinic says PTS can weigh on how a person feels. The desk reads that as a reason to tell your clinician about mood, not only about your legs.

The passage behind it

Cleveland Clinic's page on post-thrombotic syndrome says:

Living with post-thrombotic syndrome can take a toll on how you feel mentally and emotionally. People with this condition often experience depression , anxiety and a general loss of self-confidence.

The passage names three things: depression, anxiety and a loss of self-confidence. It says people "often" experience them. It does not say how many people, for how long, or what helps.

What to confirm with your clinician

Ask: "Could how I have been feeling be connected to PTS, and who should I talk to about it?" Say it in your own words. A clinician cannot respond to what stays unsaid.

Where the guidance stops

The passage says the effect on mood is common enough to name. It cannot tell you whether it applies to you.
