There is no doubt you and your family will experience feelings of great anxiety, fear, and sadness. Each of these experiences may lead to an intensive care unit (ICU) admission for your loved one. An ICU stay will further exacerbate these overwhelming emotions and leave you emotionally and mentally changed. According to Davidson, Jones, and Bienvenu (2012), one-third of parents with a child in the ICU have clinically significant symptoms of acute stress disorder. Additionally, 40% of relatives with loved ones who are critically ill suffer from anxiety. Depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are found to be at the highest levels in families of patients in the ICU (Jones, Backman, & Griffiths, 2012).

According to a Pew Research Center report, such uncertainty has accounted for one-third of Americans experiencing high levels of psychological distress during the COVID-19 outbreak. In a more recent accounting, according to a Boston University School of Public Health study, the prevalence of sleep troubles, lethargy, feelings of hopelessness and other depression symptoms in adults across the country has more than tripled since the pandemic began. That means, as noted by Time magazine, that "three times as many Americans met criteria for a depression diagnosis during the pandemic than before it."
