Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Treatment (PTSD)

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a particular set of reactions that can develop in people who have been through a traumatic event which threatened their life or safety or that of others around them. This could be due to a car or other serious accidents, physical/ sexual assault, war, or disasters such as earthquakes and floods. As a result, the person experiences feelings of intense fear, helplessness and/ or horror.

According to the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), the symptoms of PTSD include

  • Irritable behavior and angry outbursts (with little or no provocation) typically expressed as physical or verbal aggression towards people or object.
  • Reckless or self-destructive behavior
  • Hypervigilance
  • Exaggerated startle response
  • Problems with concentration
  • Sleep Disturbance (include nightmares/ flashbacks, difficulty falling or staying asleep)
  • Avoidance of situations that bring back the trauma
  • Intrusive memories,
  • Negative alterations in cognitions and mood associated with the traumatic events.

These symptoms can vary over time or from person to person.
