Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a complex disorder
that is often misunderstood. Anyone who has been victimized or
has witnessed a violent act or who has been repeatedly exposed
to a life-threatening situation is at risk of PTSD. Not
everyone who experiences a traumatic event will develop PTSD,
but many people do.
PTSD symptoms usually develop within the first three months
after trauma but may not appear until months or years have
passed. These symptoms may continue for years following the
trauma or, in some cases, symptoms may subside and reoccur
later in life, which often is the case with victims of
childhood abuse. Some people don't recognise that they have
PTSD because they may not associate their current symptoms
with past trauma.
Symptoms of PTSD
The following three categories of symptoms are associated
with PTSD:
 |
Re-living the event through recurring nightmares or other
intrusive images that occur at any time. People who suffer
from PTSD also have extreme emotional or physical
reactions such as chills, heart palpitations or panic when
faced with reminders of the event.
|
|
|
Avoiding reminders of the event, including places, people,
thoughts or other activities associated with the trauma.
PTSD sufferers may feel emotionally detached, withdraw
from friends and family, and lose interest in everyday
activities. |
|
|
Being on guard or being hyper-aroused at all times,
including feeling irritability or sudden anger, having
difficulty sleeping or concentrating, or being overly
alert or easily startled.
|
If a number of symptoms from each category have lasted for
one month or longer, and the symptoms cause severe problems or
distress in personal life, at work or, in general, affect
daily life - then PTSD is very likely.
One of the most effective ways of
dealing with PTSD is via
Hypnoanalysis.
