Major depression, anxiety and headaches could have began at the same time of your ovarian removal but not related to that. I agree with your doctor, I dno't think you need any hormone replacements. To be sure you could make a blood examination for hormones (Oestradiol, progesterone, LH and FSH) to see if your ovary is still working well.
