Join Us Now! / Sign In Chat Rooms Home ... Pro Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) SYMPTOMS Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating condition that follows a terrifying event. Often, people with PTSD have persistent frightening thoughts and memories of their ordeal and feel emotionally numb, especially with people they were once close to. PTSD, once referred to as shell shock or battle fatigue, was first brought to public attention by war veterans, but it can result from any number of traumatic incidents. These include kidnapping, serious accidents such as car or train wrecks, natural disasters such as floods or earthquakes, violent attacks such as a mugging, rape, or torture, or being held captive. The event that triggers it may be something that threatened the person's life or the life of someone close to him or her. Or it could be something witnessed, such as mass destruction after a plane crash. Whatever the source of the problem, some people with PTSD repeatedly relive the trauma in the form of nightmares and disturbing recollections during the day. They may also experience sleep problems, depression, feeling detached or numb, or being easily startled. They may lose interest in things they used to enjoy and have trouble feeling affectionate. They may feel irritable, more aggressive than before, or even violent. Seeing things that remind them of the incident may be very distressing, which could lead them to avoid certain places or situations that bring back those memories. Anniversaries of the event are often very difficult.

Explains how PTSD develops in women survivors of domestic violence. http://globetrotter.berkeley.edu/people/Herman/herman-con3.html

Judith Herman Interview : Conversations with History; Institute of International Studies, UC Berkeley Photo by Jane Scherr Page 3 of 4 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder So you focused on trauma, especially in women and children. Help us understand what Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is. Okay. Well, I can tell you about what it says in the DSM-IV. Which is the official Bible of the Psychiatric Association. Fear is something that we're all biologically wired to experience when we're in danger. We share this with other animals. When we perceive danger, we alert, we startle, we look around and figure out, do a quick appraisal of the situation, and we either fight or flee. That's being revised now by some researchers looking more at women who say that "fight or flight" is a little bit more the male response. "Tend and befriend" there's a tendency to kind of huddle with one's kind that you observe more in females. But, okay, fight or flight: there's a whole biology of fear that's involved. This is often the case of women and children who are in domestic situations where the cycle goes on and on. I think it's true of people in any situation of coercive control, whether you're talking about a hostage situation that goes on for a long time, whether you're talking about domestic violence or sexual child abuse ... some religious cults have this same captivity kind of situation. And then, of course, the political situations of concentration camps or political prisoners.

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder In the form of Frequently Asked Questions Mark Vakkur, MD See also: PTSD and Iraq Question: What is posttraumatic stress disorder? Answer: Posttraumatic stress disorder, usually referred to as PTSD, is a new label, but a timeless disease. The earliest accounts of trauma and war in history and literature give examples of what today would most likely be recognized as posttraumatic stress disorder.[ ] In contemporary American culture, we tend to think of the trauma causing posttraumatic stress disorder as combat, but sexual and physical assault, motor vehicle accidents, natural disasters, and other trauma are also potential causes of posttraumatic stress disorder. Question: How is posttraumatic stress disorder diagnosed? Answer: An easy mnemonic for posttraumatic stress disorder follows: ERASE: Experience: 100% of any combat unit become psychiatric casualties after about 60-120 days of continuous, heavy combat . It doesn't mean all will develop posttraumatic stress disorder, but there is a linear relationship between the intensity of the trauma and the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder. For example, the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder among those who are wounded in action is about 75%. Reexperiencing: The most common forms of this are through nightmares and flashbacks . The nightmares maybe so intense that a spouse or significant other can't sleep in the bed with the patient out of fear of being hit, kicked, or even strangled. The flashbacks are fleeting but extremely intense sensation that "it's happening again." The person is momentarily transported back to the trauma. It can be viewed as a dissociative phenomenon. Less dramatic but more common
