Throughout our lives, it is unavoidable that we experience stress and other difficult circumstances. Most of the time, people easily recover from these problems in a natural way. But there are others who are having a hard time recovering from the physical and emotional pain they've encountered.
This feeling or emotion is called the Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It is a condition which is very evident both physically and mentally, and is believed to take place in more or less 30% of people who have experienced some traumatic incident.
What is PTSD?
As said, it occurs in people who have encountered traumatic events. It includes phenomena or incidents that happen in surprise such as terrorist attack, vehicle crash, natural disasters, kidnapping, hostage-taking and more. It may also involve events of harassment and other near-death experiences.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder does not always happen to the victim. It may also take place in the immediate family who is affected by the accident. This may have a deep psychological effect and is most of the time, long lasting.
In some individuals, the symptoms of PTSD will likely develop as soon as possible. Though for others, it may be delayed for a couple of months and may also occur years after the actual incident.
PTSD Symptoms
After some traumatic experiences (like the ones mentioned above), PTSD symptoms will develop in people for a period of time. These indications will differ from person to person and when this occurs, this can lead to difficulty in concentration, sleep problems, depression and many more. On the other hand, the severity of PTSD also varies according to the attitude of an individual.
Some of the symptoms include the following:
1. Nightmares and Flashbacks. This is very common to all people who have experienced a bad incident. Whenever you hear a sound, or perhaps see a moving object, you will easily react and call for help. This PTSD symptom will continuously distress you which makes it hard for you to move on.
2. Extreme Alertness. It's like watching a horror movie. Once you are finished viewing, there's that feeling that there might be something under your chair or someone following you wherever you go. In PTSD, the feeling of being alert is evident after a harsh event happens.
3. Avoiding Memories. Recovering from a traumatic experience is not an easy thing. Hence, there are people who tend to avoid remembering the incident. In fact, it will only make things more complicated because the more you turn yourself away from people and conversation, the more you will recall the fearful event.
In addition, headaches, sweating, chest pains, dizziness, stomach pain and shakes are some PTSD signs. Furthermore, psychological difficulties like phobias, anxiety and depression are included.
