Just wrote a note on this for Caco. I went into a bit of a depression after treatment finished. My doctor called it situational depression and let me know that it was very much like post-traumatic stress syndrome. I went on anti-depressants for two months and that did it for me. I never had to look back and never faced the depression again. Check in with your doctor on this one.
Best.
