WHAT IS PTSD?
PTSD may last for months or years after traumatic events. Not everyone experiences this level of trauma from the same type of events. However, people with PTSD suffer:
- Ongoing anxiety
- Agitation
- Depression
- Nightmares
- Memory loss
- Flashbacks
The symptoms of PTSD can be very severe and can severely affect a person’s quality of life. A study by the National Institutes for Mental Health found that nearly 5 million Americans suffer from PTSD. This number is disproportionately higher in military veterans at 10%–17% compared to 1%–3% in the general population.
The symptoms of PTSD are categorized into these four main groups:
- Re-experiencing
- Avoidance/Numbing
- Arousal
- Cognition (Thought processes)
People with PTSD will often focus on the re-experiencing symptoms since they are often the most visible. Some individuals with PTSD have been known to have hallucinations or delusions regarding these symptoms. In addition, there may be physical symptoms such as a headache or stomach ache.
Those who experience PTSD will often try to avoid triggers that lead them to think about their traumatic events. In addition, they may often feel angry and/or anxious in response to triggers that cause them to relive their traumatic experiences.
