Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Symptom and its Treatment | Anya Wellbeing

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental disorder that develops in some individuals after they have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. This disruption in mental well-being leads to significant levels of psychological distress, difficulty functioning in daily life, and can be profoundly distressing for the person affected and their family and friends. Symptoms of PTSD include re-experiencing the trauma, avoidance symptoms, emotional numbing, hyperarousal, cognitive changes, problems sleeping and concentrating, and changes in how a person interacts with others. In some cases there can be a mixture of signs and symptoms that can affect a person’s ability to carry out everyday activities such as work or household responsibilities. One of the most common treatments for PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is designed to help individuals learn ways to manage and cope with their symptoms, as well as any emotional distress. Through CBT, individuals can learn a variety of techniques to reduce distress and regulate emotions, as well as how to recognize triggers that may set off episodes of PTSD. Other approaches to PTSD treatment may include pharmacological approaches, such as anti-depressants, and psychotherapy.

What is the Primary Difference Between Acute Stress Disorder and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?

Understanding the differences between Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is crucial for having a basic understanding of the impact of stress on mental health.

Time Frame:

Acute Stress Disorder: This occurs shortly after a traumatic event, typically within three days to a month.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: PTSD develops if the symptoms persist for more than a month, lingering beyond the initial shock.

Symptom Duration:

Acute Stress Disorder: Symptoms last for a minimum of three days but can extend up to a month.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: For PTSD, symptoms endure for at least a month, affecting daily life and functioning.

Intensity of Reactions:

Acute Stress Disorder: Initial reactions to trauma are intense but may subside as time passes.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Symptoms are persistent and may intensify over time, significantly impacting daily activities and relationships.

Judith Herman introduced the concept of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in her book Trauma and Recovery (1992). Here is her diagnostic criteria:

1. A history of subjection to totalitarian control over a prolonged period (months to years).

Examples include hostages, prisoners of war, concentration-camp survivors, and survivors of some religious cults. Examples also include those subjected to totalitarian systems in sexual and domestic life, including survivors of domestic battering, childhood physical or sexual abuse, and organized sexual exploitation.

2. Alterations in affect regulation, including

persistent dysphoria

chronic suicidal preoccupation

self-injury

explosive or extremely inhibited anger (may alternate)

compulsive or extremely inhibited sexuality (may alternate)

3. Alterations in consciousness, including

amnesia or hypermnesia for traumatic events

transient dissociative episodes

depersonalization/derealization

reliving experiences, either in the form of intrusive post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms or in the form of ruminative preoccupation

4. Alterations in self-perception, including

sense of helplessness or paralysis of initiative

shame, guilt, and self-blame

sense of defilement or stigma

sense of complete difference from others (may include sense of specialness, utter aloneness, belief no other person can understand, or nonhuman identity)

5. Alterations in perception of perpetrator, including

preoccupation with relationship with perpetrator (includes preoccupation with revenge)

unrealistic attribution of total power to perpetrator (caution: victim's assessment of power realities may be more realistic than clinician's)

idealization or paradoxical gratitude

sense of special or supernatural relationship

acceptance of belief system or rationalizations of perpetrator

6. Alterations in relations with others, including

isolation and withdrawal

disruption in intimate relationships

repeated search for rescuer (may alternate with isolation and withdrawal)

persistent distrust

repeated failures of self-protection

7. Alterations in systems of meaning

loss of sustaining faith

sense of hopelessness and despair

I can compare this to the behavior of a war veteran (? ) I explain (I've used this in AUs) veterans have a strange habit of revisiting or using things from the time of their traumas, some of them simply have an irrational FEAR of these things and others try to convince themselves that they didn't do it, some visit places after the events to face the traumas and try to overcome something that has no return and can only move on after all that, some of these things trigger memories and unexpected reactions and I think that being attacked by the prototype after disowning him and now visiting the old shrine must be a way of reinforcing that he has already abandoned that evil hand (I may just be seeing too much, I'm listening to music, inspiration hit hard-)//

( Post Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms.

I do understand where you're going with this)

Just wanted to add that CPTSD stands for Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and that it's a relatively new diagnosis and only found in the ICD-11 (WHO's classification of diseases, released 2018, came into action 2022), and not in the DSM-5 (the American Psychological Association's classification of mental disorders).

For anyone interested, these are the core features of complex PTSD listed in the ICD-11:

The onset of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms can occur across the lifespan, typically after exposure to chronic, repeated traumatic events and/or victimization that have continued for a period of months or years at a time.

Symptoms of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder are generally more severe and persistent in comparison to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Exposure to repeated traumas, especially in early development, is associated with a greater risk of developing Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder rather than Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

And here are some other facts from an article by Maercker et al. (2022):

"Complex PTSD is characterised by three core post-traumatic symptom clusters, along with chronic and pervasive disturbances in emotion regulation, identity, and relationships. Complex PTSD has been adopted as a new diagnosis in the ICD-11. Individuals with complex PTSD typically have sustained or multiple exposures to trauma, such as childhood abuse and domestic or community violence. The disorder has a 1–8% population prevalence and up to 50% prevalence in mental health facilities."

They also write that, "ICD-11 introduced complex PTSD as a diagnosis distinct from PTSD to recognise the effect that chronic or repeated trauma can have on self-organisation-related mechanisms."

[emphasis added]

So, yeah, it's a relatively new diagnosis that isn't found in the DSM-5 (mainly used in the US and in a lot of research), but there's substantial evidence for its validity (according to that same article and one other I read but now can't find). Personally, I think it's crucial to recognise the effect of sustained and repeated trauma, and hopefully the CPTSD diagnosis contributes to a broader understanding of trauma reactions.

Folks have got to understand that they probably aren't messed up by some Secret Big Trauma that they just can't remember; but rather by a million tiny microtraumas that they do mostly remember but don't even register as traumatic because nobody actually understood that these things would cause trauma, much less stack on each other over the years.

How Negative News Impacts Our Health?

Prolonged and repeated exposure to media coverage of traumatic events can transform acute stress into chronic stress, with significant physical and mental health impacts. Research following the September 11 attacks revealed that individuals who consumed extensive TV coverage during the first week experienced heightened post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms for up to three years. This underscores how continuous exposure to distressing media content can extend the adverse effects far beyond those directly impacted. The study emphasizes the need for responsible media practices to mitigate these widespread psychological repercussions.

The study concludes with a call for responsibility and prudence:

“Most importantly, the media should recognize that the constant display of horrific, anxiety-inducing images is not of the public interest. Repeated depiction of such images helps to maintain potentially traumatic experiences and suffering associated with a traumatic event. To limit potential harm, viewers should be warned when these images will be shown. Although we are not the first to suggest that media sources use warning statements regarding graphic coverage, we provide evidence that media exposure can be more closely linked to acute stress than direct exposure to a collective event, thereby demonstrating the importance of this recommendation. As access to numerous media sources becomes easier and faster than ever, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the media must consider that extensive, repeated exposure to threatening or distressing content can have far-reaching consequences.”

Let’s turn to the results of another study, “Тerrorism, Acute Stress, and Cardiovascular Health. A 3-Year National Study Following the September 11th Attacks” by E.A. Holman, R.C. Silver, M. Poulin.

“We conducted a longitudinal study of mental and physical health following the 9/11 attacks with a national probability sample of the US population in collaboration with Knowledge Networks, Inc (KN), a Web-based survey research company.” The study showed that the acute stress responses to the 9/11 attacks led to a 53% increase in incidences of cardiovascular ailments over the three subsequent years, even after adjusting for pre-9/11 cardiovascular and mental health status.

The conclusion was that high acute stress increases the risk of cardiovascular events (heart attacks and strokes) among individuals with ongoing worries about terrorism. Chronic reminders of the threat (e.g., terrorism alerts, worrying, or both) may prolong the physiologic arousal in some people, rendering them vulnerable to cardiovascular ailments.”

It appears that the news is much more than a harmless list of events that have occurred and facts found by journalists. Think about it:

Information about just one terrorist act increases the risk of cardiovascular complications by 53% over three years! How much of such information is broadcasted daily through the media?

Are we sure all this information is true?

There are some words that are themselves triggers of fear and anxiety. It is enough to hear or read them, and tension and fear have already arisen. For example, the word “cult.” Here’s what I. Ya. Kanterov—professor, Doctor of Philosophy, professor of the Department of History and Theory of Politics at the Faculty of Political Science, and honored professor of Moscow State University—writes in his book “New Religious Movements”:

“For centuries the word ‘cult’, consisting of four letters, was found only in the vocabulary of historians of religion, theologians, ethnographers and did not go beyond the scientific publications. The exception, perhaps, is the political science use of the term ‘cult’ (e.g., cult of personality) in journalism and propaganda addressed to a wide audience. By the mid-1970’s, however, this term began to be firmly established in all forms of mass media, including article headlines, essays, radio & TV programs. And the overwhelming majority of materials about cults had a sensational and condemning tone.

In the publications, the reasons for the media’s use of the term ‘cult’ with predominantly (or more accurately, exclusively) negative connotations are not explained. Sensation-seeking magazine and newspaper publishers quickly took a liking to the word ‘cult’ for its ‘conciseness, punchiness, and emotionality.’ Moreover, its already negative connotation could easily be intensified with phrases like ‘suicidal cult’ or ‘devilish cult.’ In record time, the concept of ‘cult’ became widely used as a cliché, associated with ‘typical features’ of a cult. Some of these features include, e.g., cults engage in questionable and often criminal activities; cults recruit followers through deception and false promises; cults are led by powerful and unscrupulous leaders who pursue selfish goals and manipulate the minds of their followers, harming mental health and destroying families.”

In 1993, one of the leaders of the anti-cult movement introduced the terms “totalitarian sect” and “destructive cult.” Since then, these terms have frequently appeared in speeches by politicians, law enforcement officials, and as sensational headlines in various publications. The term “totalitarian,” borrowed from political science and Cold War propaganda, immediately evokes associations with lack of freedom, concentration camps and guards, barbed wire, forced labor, meager food, etc., all of which triggers the fear. Anyone who reads or hears about the latest organization called a “sect” or “cult” subconsciously fears for their own and their loved ones’ well-being.

Let’s turn again to the opinion of Dr. Kanterov I. Ya:

“By transferring the sinister, frightening meaning of the term ‘totalitarian’ to the field of religion, the creators of the ‘totalitarian sect’ concept aim to significantly increase the condemnatory charge of the existing definitions preceding the words ‘sect’ and ‘cult.’ It is precisely because of the ‘recognizability’ of the word ‘totalitarian’ that the use of this very ‘negative’ term has become entrenched when referring to new religious groups.”

However, few people know that such terminology as ‘totalitarian sect,’ ‘destructive cult’, is absent in the current legislation of most countries, international legal documents, lacks legal justification, and contradicts the ‘Law on Freedom of Conscience and Religious Associations.’

“The use of such terms for religious associations with legal status and registered by justice authorities indicates that the authors of such materials lack basic knowledge in religious studies and information on normative acts regulating the activities of religious associations. Labeling a specific religious group with a name that inherently contains negative connotations at best generates cautious attitudes toward such a group, and more often leads to discrimination and persecution of its followers. There are numerous documented cases of overt persecution of religious minorities influenced by publications and especially TV broadcasts on sectarian machinations.”

Addressing Severe PTSD Symptoms with Intensive Treatment

Blog 3-Mental health topic

The rollercoaster called Post traumatic stress disorder

Post traumatic stress disorder! This is one diagnosis that stood out to me as I sat quietly thinking. PTSD as they now say it is a mental health condition that develops following a traumatic event characterized by intrusive thoughts about the incident, recurrent distress/anxiety, flashback and avoidance of similar situations. The analogy of what happens is that a person, whether young or old will experience something traumatic to them. This could include rape, assault, a murder, being hijacked, natural disaster and a lot more. The person will feel extremely scared and extremely sad during the event of the trauma. The amygdala responsible for memory, stores this event and it becomes permanently stored into the person’s brain. The person who suffered the trauma might then have nightmares or they might be hyperalert if they are around the area of occurrence. After the incidence, the person might then have panic attacks or they might experience stress which then indicates that the person should see a healthcare professional where according to the DSM 5 TR, they will be diagnosed with Post traumatic stress disorder. The symptoms include being easily startled or frightened, always being on guard for danger, self-destructive behaviour, such as drinking too much or driving too fast, trouble sleeping, trouble concentrating, irritability, angry outbursts or aggressive behaviour (Mayo Clinic, 2022). These affect the occupations such as rest and sleep, health management, work /education depending on the age.

According to research (Fateminia et al., 2022) article, mostly females suffer with PTSD as well as front line workers like nurses, policemen and policewomen, paramedics and others. This makes sense as they see a lot of disturbing things in their line of work. Imagine seeing what used to resemble a human lying around! They see these traumatic events and the causes of these tragedies which then leads to them having a certain fear to that causing factor.

I remember during the time of covid 19…what a pandemic! People had a fear of going to interact with other due to the fear of getting infected with the disease. Some still have a fear of being around people who have minor coughs due to the pandemic we once suffered. It might not be diagnosed but it could be PTSD.PTSD is closely associated with burnouts. The link between PTSD and burnout is an important area of study because both conditions involve significant stress and can deeply affect an individual’s well-being and functioning. The person`s emotional well-being takes a toll because of the stress. Some interpersonal relationships can be affected as the person with PTSD might not want to be around people.

Intervention for PTSD in OT include cognitive behavioral therapy i.e., changing thought processes using cognitive behavioral therapy approach. The client can engage in mindfulness and relaxation therapy. Health management can also be included to ensure the client takes his/her medication.

A person suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) may find numerous aspects of their life affected by this serious and complicated disorder. As this blog has discussed, PTSD is a complicated disorder that affects one's emotional, cognitive, and physical health rather than being a reaction to a single horrific experience. Its effects can be broad including daily life, relationships, and general quality of life.

My comparison of the Acute Stress Disorder and the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms.

Took me a ridiculous amount of time to get it done because I kept overcomplicating the information arrangement but it's done and that's what matters.

I'll print it in color and stick it on my notebook because I forgot I was doing it on hand again.

POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD)

PTSD is a disorder that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, rape or who have been threatened with death, sexual violence or serious injury. Trauma is the response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms an individual’s ability to cope, causes feelings of helplessness, diminishes their sense of self and their ability to feel a full range of emotions and experiences. Post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms may start within one month of a traumatic event, but sometimes symptoms may not appear until years after the event. These symptoms cause significant problems in social or work situations and in relationships. They can also interfere with your ability to go about your normal daily tasks.

6 amazing things to know about PTSD

After going through or witnessing recollections of a horrific incident in the past, such as a natural disaster, sexual assault, war, or significant injury, one may acquire post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This causes ongoing physical and emotional distress. Anxiety, nightmares, insomnia, flashbacks, and bothersome thoughts about the event are possible symptoms. Feeling angry after a stressful event is common. On the other hand, if your symptoms interfere with your daily life and last for months or even years, you can have PTSD. 1) Variations in PTSD according to sexual orientation. As per the National Center for PTSD, approximately 10% of women experience PTSD during their lifetime, in contrast to 4% of men. Gender norms and culture are another factor contributing to the increased prevalence of PTSD symptoms in women. Signs and Symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): A list of seventeen symptoms.

Post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms may arise three months after a stressful event, although they may potentially take longer. Not everyone has the same experience with PTSD symptoms. Each person experiences symptoms in a different way. Nevertheless, not everyone with PTSD will exhibit one or more of the following signs and symptoms of the condition.

Keep away from the issue

Steer clear of items or things that cause difficulty.

Steer clear of talking about or contemplating traumatic events.

unpleasant recollections

traumatic recollections that are severe and persistent.

Remember:

When you get flashbacks, you could feel like you're in that terrifying scenario due to feelings or bodily sensations that go beyond the images. gloomy

a negative shift in perspective and disposition

Having negative feelings towards the world or yourself.

difficulty preserving intimate connections.

in addition to relatives and acquaintances.

excessive blame or guilt.

unable to recall important incident information. having numbness.

Loss of interest in things you used to like doing.

excited: Modifications in emotional and physiological reactions

Simple to astonish

Adopting riskier habits occurs.

Children's Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms

Play can be a means of expressing past experiences, including reliving traumatic ones.

In reaction to further trauma from infancy to adulthood, children who have suffered trauma are more prone to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). 4) Various post-traumatic stress disorder subtypes.

Although PTSD is an illness, there are tools to help in its diagnosis and treatment. According to the definition of post-traumatic stress disorder, it is separated into subgroups based on the severity of PTSD symptoms.

1. Dissociative PTSD: Dissociation is a mental health condition in which an individual becomes detached from reality and from their memories, thoughts, and feelings.

2. Uncomplicated PTSD: This describes individuals who do not have any other mental health issues, such as depression, and who just experience the symptoms of PTSD, such as replaying the horrifying incident and avoiding people and places connected to the trauma. Simple PTSD is the easiest to treat since patients respond well to it.

3. Attached PTSD: This phrase describes a number of diseases that coexist. In addition to other mental health issues like depression or panic disorder, which frequently coexist with substance misuse issues, a person exhibits indicators of PTSD. For those of this kind, treatment for PTSD and other mental health issues is most effective.

4. Drugs: Specific Drugs can lessen post-traumatic stress disorder's depressed symptoms and lessen nightmares and flashbacks. Medication for anxiety can assist in lowering the rise in physiological arousal. This is common among PTSD sufferers, and sleeping drugs can also be helpful because sleeplessness and restlessness are major issues for these individuals.

Understanding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

According to American Psychiatric Association, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event, series of events, or circumstances. An individual may experience this as emotionally or physically harmful or life-threatening, affecting mental, physical, social, and spiritual well-being.

Long after the horrific incident has passed, people with PTSD continue to endure intense, unsettling thoughts and sensations related to their experience. They may experience dreams or flashbacks of the incident, experience sadness, fear, and anger, and feel distant or estranged from others. A person who has PTSD may avoid settings or persons who make them think of the traumatic experience and they may also respond negatively to seemingly unimportant things like a loud noise or an unintentional touch.

Symptoms of PTSD:

The traumatic incident is relived as a result of distressing memories, flashbacks, nightmares, or strong emotional or physical responses to the memory of the trauma.

Avoidance and numbing which include staying away from things that bring up memories of the trauma, losing interest in activities and life in general, feeling emotionally numb and emotionally cut off from people, and having a limited outlook on the future.

Sleep issues, irritability, alertness, feeling restless or easily startled, violent outbursts, and aggressive, self-destructive, or irresponsible behavior are all symptoms of hyperarousal.

Thought and emotional changes, such as feeling alone and alienated, having trouble focusing or remembering, feeling depressed and gloomy, feeling betrayed and distrusted, and feeling guilty, ashamed, or responsible for one’s own actions.

Causes of PTSD:

Serious accidents

Violent personal assault (sexual assault, physical attack, abuse, robbery, mugging)

Being diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.

Even hearing about the unexpected injury or violent death of a family member or close friend can start PTSD.

Treatment for PTSD:

Trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy involves gradually “exposing” yourself to feelings and situations that remind you of the trauma, and replacing distorted and irrational thoughts about the experience with a more balanced picture.

Family therapy can help your loved ones understand what you’re going through and help you work through relationship problems together as a family.

Medication is sometimes prescribed to people with PTSD. This helps to relieve secondary symptoms of depression or anxiety, although they do not treat the causes of PTSD.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) is a technique that uses eye movements to help the brain process flashbacks and make sense of the traumatic experience.

It is essential to seek help if you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of PTSD, it is also essential to create awareness about PTSD and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health conditions, especially among individuals who have experienced trauma.
