Talking therapy has been documented to be effectIve. It is always iMportant to get good recommendations though.

If you feel too isolated, an in person group might be useful. If COVID remains a concern an online group might work.

Even though there are others worse off, it is still important that you are able to live a happy fulfilling life. It makes us all better able to help those worse off.

It sounds as though you are working hard at regaling physiCal ability. Someone close to me did suffer post surgery depression. Her doctor took it seriously and after about 6 months of interventions the depression faded away.

My suggestion may seem naive or unworkable. If so, let us know.
