Highlights: Transplant is a traumatic experience and can cause emotional, mental, behavioral and physical problems. Almost 20% of transplant patients experience clinically significant symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Resilience is the ability to bounce back, recover, and grow through difficult experiences. Grieving our losses and accepting difficult emotions are part of resilience. It is a skill that takes time to learn. When stressful symptoms interfere with daily life and relationships, professional counseling may be helpful.

Key Points: (03:26): Distress is the most common mental health problem for transplant patients and may manifest as vulnerability, sadness, anger and/or anxiety. (08:56): Depression can involve withdrawal, hopelessness, and guilt. Depression also brings a loss of interest in enjoyable activities. (13:56): Symptoms of PTSD can include flashbacks, high levels of distress, memory difficulties, missing doctor appointments, avoiding family and/or friends, negative beliefs avoidance symptoms, negative thoughts, irritability, lack of patience, drinking and drug abuse. (16:38): Risk factors for transplant-related PTSD include previous mental health diagnosis, trauma experience or serious physical injury, and lower access to financial and educational services. (18:02): A strong support system, optimism, humor, successful life experience with difficult events, and effective coping strategies help people at risk of PTSD. (24:15): Grieving our losses and accepting difficult emotions are part of resilience. (28:39): Resilience may also foster spiritual development and a sense of meaning and purpose. ((32:48): Mindfulness meditation is a powerful tool for mental and emotional health 33:55): A good social support system consisting of people who are easy to be with is vital in recovering from transplant.
