Traumatic Stress Disorder
This a Continued Education Course for Medical Professionals.
One of the most difficult forms of anxiety disorder to deal with is post-traumatic stress disorder, first recognized as shell shock and battle fatigue. These names themselves indicate a lack of understanding of what was happening with these soldiers, many of whom were accused of “faking” symptoms to avoid being sent back to active duty. In those early days it was quite disconcerting to watch pictures of soldiers “reliving” their traumatic experiences as though they were still happening. While it now is diagnosed as “post-traumatic stress”, it is that same debilitating disorder that literally ruined the lives of so many military personnel. However, today, lives do not have to be ruined by this anxiety-related disorder if the situation is dealt with immediately and if treatment focuses on the root cause rather than individual symptoms. We will briefly look at some causes and effects, symptoms, and treatments of post traumatic stress.
