I was diagnosed with an aggressive prostate cancer (Gleeson 10) in June 2017. Following the diagnosis I was immediately put on ADT using Zolodex and have been on it continuously since. I have also undergone 8 weeks of radiation therapy. To date treatment has been successful and I have had a PSA level of 0.02 for about the last 18 months.
My problem is that I have uncontrollable mood swings in which I become quite angry and short tempered. I also have thoughts that have no basis in reality during these swings which is putting considerable pressure on my family. My trouble is that I can feel the mood change coming on but do not seem to be able to control it. I have considered seeking professional psychological/psychiatric help but before I do was wondering if anyone on this forum has experienced this whilst on ADT and if so how do you overcome or control them.
Any advice would be welcome.
