I believe ITU patients often suffer from psychosis while in treatment and PTSD afterwards. Intensive medical intervention really can be incredibly traumatic for many, over and above the trauma of the illness or injury that put you in ITU.

Kept insisting it was anxiety. Only when skin turned completely white did they reluctantly run an x-ray. Oops. Then I had a reaction to blood thinners. Nurses called me a liar, that no one has a bad reaction. Oh turns out it’s fairly common. Had to let it get to a stroke before they would Change medication. Repeat at every stage.
