If he doesn't already prefer not to have existed, then that probably won't change upon waking up.

I'm presuming the patient hasn't just woken up and has been introduced to society in some way or has attempted to re-enter it. I think there is a small but non-negligible probability that some patients will be so alienated that pretty serious depression could result. They may even become suicidal. Perhaps someone who had 'died' young would then wish he had never been born as he would have few pre-freeze memories to cherish.
