TL;DR
A self-help rehabilitation manual is effective in aiding physical recovery and reducing depression in patients recalling delusional memories from the ICU, however, further psychological care may be needed to reduce the incidence of anxiety and PTSD-related symptoms.
Abstract
A self-help rehabilitation manual is effective in aiding physical recovery and reducing depression. However, in those patients recalling delusional memories from the ICU, further psychological care may be needed to reduce the incidence of anxiety and PTSD-related symptoms.
