How do we recover from critical illness?
Recovering from critical illness, like a stay in intensive care, isn't just about physical healing. Many patients face significant psychological challenges afterwards, including PTSD, as highlighted in the story. Support can involve physical therapy, counselling, and sometimes specific treatments like EMDR. The aim is to help patients regain their independence and quality of life.
