Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is an extreme response to a severe stressor. It involves re-experiencing the traumatic event, avoiding stimuli associated with the trauma, a numbing of emotional responses, and symptoms of increased arousal. Examples of events that can lead to PTSD include: bombings, ferry or airplane disasters, war, acts of terrorism, witnessing a death, rape, physical assault and natural disasters. Most people will experience PTSD symptoms within 3 months of the traumatic event. However, some will have buried their experience so deeply that their symptoms may not surface for many years – but when they do they are powerful and incapacitating.
The symptoms which define this disorder can be summarised as follows:
1. Re-experiencing the crisis or trauma: Most commonly, the person is confronted with intense, overwhelming and recurrent flashbacks or night terrors of the traumatic event itself. Thus, they feel as if they’re re-living the trauma, and they have the same reactions as they had when the trauma occurred. For many people, the anniversary of the trauma, or being in situation that reminds of what happened, can unleash powerful emotions and feelings of distress.
2. Avoidance and emotional numbing: People who suffer from PTSD will generally do all they can to avoid situations which remind them of the traumatic experience. Emotional numbing is usually experienced immediately after the event. Also, usually the person withdraws from others (including their close friends and family), and derive no pleasure from their job, or other interests. They find it hard to feel and deal with emotions, especially those related to trust and intimacy. They also struggle with guilt, despair and meaninglessness. In rare cases, the person may experience blackouts and or may dissociate from everyday life.
3. Heightened vigilance and alertness: This prevents the individual from relaxing, concentrating and completing normal tasks. There is usually a marked change in their sleep patterns too – in the form of insomnia, disturbed sleep, wakening early in the morning or being troubled by nightmares. Many sufferers are jumpy, highly reactive, and much more aggressive than they were previously.
