Depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are two major mental illnesses which comprise postintensive care syndrome (PICS). In ICU survivors, the incidence of depression and PTSD are as high as 20 to 30% at six months after ICU discharge, with a negative impact on the survivors' quality of life. The ICU diary, as a reconstructive measure for a patient's memory during the ICU stay, may be effective for the prevention of and improvement in mental illness in survivors, although a definitive intervention has not been established. In Japan, awareness of PICS in ICU survivors and their families is still insufficient, and therefore, a thorough understanding of the syndrome by health care providers is the first priority. Further educational and research activities in this area are necessary in the future.
