Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can be developed by experiencing or witnessing a one-off event, or ongoing events, that are extremely distressing or frightening.

This can be experiences such as a car crash, domestic or sexual abuse or working in a war zone. People with PTSD can relive the trauma through vivid memories and flashbacks and struggle in their daily life.

PTSD can affect people of any age, and the symptoms normally begin within the first three months after the traumatic experience.

What are the signs and symptoms?

Reliving the traumatic event:

People with PTSD repeatedly relive the traumatic events vividly. This can include flashbacks, hallucinations, and nightmares.

Avoidance:

People with PTSD may experience a sense of detachment and isolation as those with PTSD avoid any situations that may remind them of the trauma. This includes people, places and jobs. People with PTSD may go to potentially dangerous measures of avoidance such as excessive drinking of alcohol to avoid these experiences.

Negative cognition and Mood:

People with PTSD may have constant thoughts of blame, overwhelming feelings of anger and sadness. This can lead to thoughts of distrust, that there is no safe place or that no one can ever understand.

Increased alertness:

People with PTSD may experience hypervigilance (extreme alertness). This can lead to disturbed sleep, or lack of sleep or more irritable or aggressive and perhaps jumpy or easily startled. They may find it harder to concentrate and this may stop them from doing everyday tasks.
