About PTSD

What Is PTSD?

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a serious mental disorder whose key characteristics are the unwanted memories of a certain event that traumatized the person and the feeling of detachment the person has to deal with due to severe stress and anxiety that plague them.

It is possible to feel unsafe and insecure even if the individual should understand they are no longer in danger – the persistent feelings of fear and anger prevent them from living their life on their own terms.

How to Diagnose PTSD?

There are certain steps a mental health professional is supposed to take before offering specific PTSD treatment options to a patient:

Perform a physical examination of the individual – there may be physical and neurological conditions that result in symptoms similar to the manifestations of PTSD.

Talk to a patient to learn more about their medical history, exposure to trauma, and the negative impact their symptoms have on their daily life.

Continue to observe the person to figure out which signs of PTSD are recurring and what additional problems there may be whether they are suffering from a sleep disorder or panic attacks.

Disorder types

Uncomplicated PTSD

This is the most common subtype of the condition - it starts after a person experiences a single traumatic event and is not worsened by co-occurring mental health conditions.

Complex PTSD (CPTSD)

If someone was exposed to violence, torture, or abuse for a significant amount of time, long-lasting emotional and physical pain may result in the development of a complex form of PTSD.

When PTSD co-occurs with the symptoms of depersonalization/derealization disorder (DDD), it increases the severity of the condition and manifests in a sense of detachment from the world around.

What Does PTSD Treatment Involve?

 in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) sessions.

What Can Cause PTSD?
While the story of every individual diagnosed with PTSD is unique, this disorder develops after a person goes through or witnesses a traumatic or disturbing event. If someone was abused or assaulted, got in a car accident, survived a military conflict, or faced a sudden death of a loved one, it is very likely they will exhibit the symptoms of PTSD.  There are also certain risk factors you should keep in mind when assessing the probability of PTSD developing at some point in your future – if you were ever diagnosed with depression, anxiety disorder, or dealt with a chronic illness or traumatic childbirth, it takes a toll on your psyche and makes you more vulnerable to trauma.
How Long Does PTSD Treatment Take?

It is difficult to predict the duration of treatment and the timeline of recovery when it comes to a condition as severe and challenging as PTSD. There are people who are able to bounce back and get back to their normal lives only after years of intensive PTSD therapy. Still, it is possible to cope with the majority of symptoms within two or three months of counseling sessions in a private and group setting so a residential treatment program may be the best choice for a person whose life has been undermined by their emotional struggles.

When to Seek Help for PTSD?
It is recommended to speak to a therapist as soon as you can after going through a distressing event or escaping to safety after months and years of abuse. Sadly, not every person is able to do so, and some individuals believe there will be no lasting consequences for their mental well-being which is why they think it is pointless to talk to a mental health specialist. When you experience a frightening flashback, your mind feels overwhelmed due to intrusive thoughts you cannot control, or you fail to fall asleep at night because you keep replaying the disturbing events of your past in your head, do not delay a visit to a therapist for the sake of your mental wellness.
