  3. PTSD: o Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), once called shell shock or battle fatiguesyndrome, is a serious condition that can develop after a person has experienced or witnessed a traumatic or terrifying event in which there was serious physical harm or threat. PTSD is a lasting consequence of traumatic ordeals that cause intense fear, helplessness, or horror. Examples of things that can bring on PTSD include sexual or physical assault, the unexpected death of a loved one, an accident, war, or natural disaster. Families of victims can develop PTSD, as can emergency personnel and rescue workers o About 3.6% of adult Americans -- about 5.2 million people -- have PTSD during the course of a year, and an estimated 7.8 million Americans will develop PTSD at some point in their lives. PTSD can develop at any age, including childhood. Women are more likely to develop PTSD than men. This may be due to the fact that women are more likely to be victims of domestic violence, abuse, and rape. Introduction

  4. Causes Types of events that can lead to PTSD include: o serious accidents o physical or sexual assault o abuse, including childhood or domestic abuse o exposure to traumatic events at work, including remote exposure o serious health problems, such as being admitted to intensive care o childbirth experiences, such as losing a baby o war and conflict o torture

  5. Risk: If you have haddepression or anxietyin the past, or you do not receive much support from family or friends, you're more susceptible to developing PTSD after a traumatic event. There may also be a genetic factor involved in PTSD. For example, having a parent with a mental health problem is thought to increase your chances of developing the condition.

  6. Symptoms Symptoms of PTSDmost often begin within 3 months of the event. In some cases, however, they don’t begin until years later. The severity and duration of the illness can vary. Some people recover within 6 months, while others have it much longer.

  7.  Symptoms of PTSD often are grouped into four main categories, including: • Reliving: People with PTSD repeatedly relive the ordeal through thoughts and memories of the trauma. These may include flashbacks, hallucinations, andnightmares. They also may feel great distress when certain things remind them of the trauma, such as the anniversary date of the event. Symptoms

  8. • Avoiding:The person may avoid people, places, thoughts, or situations that may remind them of the trauma. This can lead to feelings of detachment and isolation from family and friends, as well as a loss of interest in activities that the person once enjoyed. Symptoms

  9. • Increased arousal:These include excessive emotions; problems relating to others, including feeling or showing affection; difficulty falling or staying asleep; irritability; outbursts of anger; difficulty concentrating; and being "jumpy" or easily startled. The person may also suffer physical symptoms, such as increased blood pressureandheart rate, rapid breathing, muscle tension, nausea, anddiarrhea. Symptoms

  10. • Negative cognitions and mood:This refers to thoughts and feelings related to blame, estrangement, and memories of the traumatic event. Symptoms
