Excerpt
What is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?
PTSD
Those who are likely to get PTSD are those who have survived or witnessed a dangerous or life-threatening situation
1. Re-experiencing Symptoms
· Flashbacks – reliving the trauma over and over, including physical symptoms such as a racing heart or sweating
· Bad Dreams
· Frightening thoughts
Re-experiencing symptoms may cause problems in a person’s everyday routine. They can start from the person’s own thoughts and feelings. Words, objects or situations that are reminders of the event can also trigger re-experiencing symptoms.
2. Avoidance Symptoms
· Staying away from places, events, or objects that are reminders of the experience
· Feeling emotionally numb
· Feeling strong guilt, depression, or worry
· Losing interest in activities that were enjoyable in the past.
· Having trouble remembering the traumatic event.
Things that remind a person of the traumatic event can trigger avoidance symptoms. These symptoms may cause a person to change his or her personal routine. For example, after a bad car accident, a person who usually drives may avoid driving or riding in a car.
3. Hyper arousal Symptoms
· Being easily startled
· Feeling tense or “on-edge”
· Having difficulty sleeping, and/or having angry outbursts
· Person may become over-protective of themselves, or of others.
· Constant or intermittent fight or flight reflexes.
Hyper arousal symptoms are usually constant, instead of being triggered by the things that remind one of the traumatic events. They can make the person feel stressed and angry. These symptoms may make it hard to do daily tasks, such as sleeping, eating, or concentrating.
