Esta noche en Crónicas del Domingo: "Terapias express: salud mental en la UTI"

So I was reading this article called “Terapias express: salud mental en la UTI” on Crónicas del Domingo, and it was really eye-opening. Basically, it was talking about how important mental health support is for patients in intensive care units (ICU).

The article highlights how the pandemic has put a lot of strain on healthcare workers, and that they’re seeing more and more cases of PTSD in patients who have spent time in the ICU. But the good news is that there are now “express therapies” available that can help patients cope with the stress and trauma of their experience.

One of the most interesting things the article mentioned was the use of virtual reality as a form of therapy. Apparently, patients can use VR to “escape” the ICU environment and experience relaxing scenes like beaches or forests. It sounds pretty cool, but also kind of odd to think that technology can help in such a personal and emotional way.

Reading this article really made me think about my own experiences with mental health support. I’ve had some tough times in my life, and I’m so grateful for the therapists who have helped me work through my issues. I know firsthand how important it is to have access to mental health care, and I can’t imagine going through something as traumatic as being in the ICU without that support.

Overall, I think this article is important because it sheds light on a topic that isn’t often talked about. We tend to focus so much on physical health, but mental health is just as important, especially when it comes to recovering from a serious illness or injury. It’s encouraging to know that there are resources out there for people going through something like this, and I hope more and more hospitals start incorporating these “express therapies” into their care plans.
