🚨 🧵 Re COVID-19 recovery: we are to face a mental health crisis that will disproportionately affect Black, Hispanic, Native, Philippine ppl. In this @TheLancetPsych piece led by @ShawnJohnsonBOS we focus on Post-ICU syndrome (PICS) + key solutions.thelancet.com/journals/lanps… 1/11
What is PICS? It’s an ensemble of mental and neuopsychiatric disorders that affect people who have been in the ICU, and their families too. Includes delirium, depression, anxiety, PTSD. People who are intubated (pretty common w/ COVID) have it the worst. 2/11
We are starting to learn that irrespective of ICU stays, COVID-19 can leave people with neuropsychiatric sequelae. So we have a collision of two phenomenons here. There’s not a lot of data on PICS-related disparities, but it leads to financial ruin cc (@KatieHauschildt) 3/11

@kpanyc I get what you’re saying. But shutting the world down for months (or more) would have very different impacts on those who are paid by the hour, the week, the month, the semester, or the year. Some jobs can be done from home; some can’t. Some people have savings and homes...
@kpanyc and others are living from paycheck to paycheck. We don’t have the social safety net to rescue those who would fall into dire need. (We should; but we don’t.) Will we have to do triage? Play “Lifeboat”?
@kpanyc The best solutions are to cancel unnecessary gatherings; reduce workdays (w/FEWER PEOPLE PRESENT AT ANY ONE TIME); increase the standard amount of “personal space” between people (“Don’t Stand So Close To Me”);
and MOST IMPORTANT:
DO MORE THINGS ONLINE! (We HAVE the technology.)
