I was given 6 months to live last October so was put forward for a Tcell transplant which I had in December. I was in a coma for 2 and a half weeks and in ICU for nearly 4. Since then my mental health has become worse and I see no reason for living due to flashbacks and physical difficulties. Could this be PICU?

Can you speak to anyone at the hospital where you were admitted or do you have any follow-up clinics?
Hi,
I was a patient in ITU in Dec 2019 for a few weeks in an induced coma on a ventilator. I have struggled with my mental health after being told how close I came to dying. Being in ITU is a very traumatic experience and it is possible to have PTSD from it. Did you have a follow up with the ITU staff where you were a patient? X
