ICU Anxiety: How to manage it in ICU and in recovery post ICU - a podcast by Mark Hudson

My guest this episode is Dr Megan Hosey an ICU Psychologist from the prestigious Johns Hopkins ICU team. She specializes in adjustment to chronic illness and survivorship, acute and chronic pain management, neuropsychological assessment and rehabilitation, fatigue management, and health psychology intervention. Dr Hosey is also an Assistant Professor at the Johns Hopkins Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

Dr Hosey was the first person I thought of when the Idea of a Mental Health topic came up, She is in my view one of the best Psychologists about. She is an extremely kind and caring person which in my mind reflects an excellent mindset for a top-class healthcare professional. During the podcast, we cover in ICU anxiety, depression/ demoralisation as well as reflecting on my favourite topic of Delirium as well as early mobilization and its effects.

We also reflected on the impact the Covid-19 has had on ICU patients and how the restrictions are most likely going to be felt hardest especially in those who family support might have been the difference in turning a corner.
