AB Psychological  and  psychiatric  disturbances  occur  frequently  in  mechanically  ventilated  patients,  and  cause  patients,  their  loved  ones,  and  their  caregivers  considerable  distress.  This  chapter  familiarizes  the  reader  with  commonly  observed  psychological  and  psychiatric  symptoms  in  ventilated  critically  ill  patients;  briefly  discusses  the  challenge  of  making  a  psychiatric  diagnosis  in  the  context  of  the  ventilated  patient;  and  describes  what  is  known  of  the  three  disorders  most  commonly  described  in  this  patient  population:  delirium,  depression,  and  posttraumatic  stress  disorder.
