I had a critical illness in 2014 and was diagnosed with PTSD. I found my own therapist also since no one in hometown including my ICU doctors have heard of PICS. But after a one false start with a therapist who tried to convert me to her religion!! I landed with a therapist who treats mainly sexual assault survivals. For me, it seems to be a good fit. Trauma is trauma. Meds don't do well for me either and if I felt the need for them my PCP would help there. My therapist and I have been navigating this trauma fairly well. I get really frustrated with the medical community in general who don't seem to recognize PICS. I talked with the ICU doctor who treated me who didn't believe PICS was real. He told me I just needed to forget about about my ICU experience. My husband was with me and he spoke up and said he is a Vietnam vet and said he has PTSD. He told the doctor that PTSD is very real. Hubby said it has taken him 50 years to have a peaceful sleep. The doctor shut up then. Then I said I wanted to talk to the residents, or nurses about my ICU experience and he said my experience was of no value. He was an ass.
