Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, analytical study was performed in a tertiary care center in Western Maharashtra. By purposive sampling, 34 patients of CAM were included in the study with their informed consent and after obtaining ethical clearance. A self-made questionnaire to include demographic and clinical details was filled. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and Suicidal Ideation Attributes Scale (SIDAS) were applied after initial diagnosis. The HADS, RSES, and SIDAS were reapplied after their operative treatment. Results: A significant reduction in anxiety and depression scores postoperatively was seen. No significant difference was found in self-esteem or suicidal ideas postoperatively in the study population. However, patients who underwent orbital exenteration showed a significant reduction in level of self-esteem with anxiety and depression postoperatively. No specific correlation was found between the computed tomography score, family history, intensive care unit admission, or orbital exenteration with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and suicidal ideas. Conclusion: Levels of anxiety and depression in patients of CAM reduced significantly after treatment, but self-esteem worsened in males more than females owing to disfigurement. There is a need of psychological counseling in patients of mucormycosis undergoing a debilitating surgery both pre- and postoperatively for a better outcome and recovery.Amod AhujaMadhura SamudraShashi Prabha PrasadSuprakash ChaudhuryShivangi BoraVarsha SinghNilay DhoreWolters Kluwer Medknow Publicationsarticleanxietydepressionmucormycosisorbital exenterationself-esteemsuicidal ideasPsychiatryRC435-571Industrial psychologyHF5548.7-5548.85ENIndustrial Psychiatry Journal, Vol 30, Iss 3, Pp 75-82 (2021)
