Is Mental Health And Emotional Issue Related After Surgeries?

In reading about the recent trial of the South African Paralympic athlete, I realized that he exhibited the same emotional and irradict behaviors as my adult younger brother. The rages, threats, paranoia, crying, etc. is just like my brothers' behavior. My brother also had numerous orthopedic surgeries as a young child. Is there any correlation between mental health/emotional issues in adults who have had extensive surgeries in childhood? I know you need much more information, but generally, is there some relationship here? As a matter of information, my brother and I are estranged and I have no intention of sharing this discussion with him or anyone else. Thank you.
