Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
How Trauma Leads to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
A traumatic event is one that causes a person to experience physical or emotional pain, distress and extreme fear. An example of a traumatic event would be a severe car accident, robbery, the death of a loved one, natural disaster, witnessing an act of violence, or an event in which a person is in danger of receiving physical harm. Generally, during the traumatic event, the victim will feel a sense of numbness or dissociation from reality. This is a type of coping method, but it will not necessarily save the victim from suffering from post-traumatic stress after the event.
A very traumatic event may leave an individual with a different perception of the world, causing he or she to live in a state of constant fear. Being involved in such an event may also cause a person to go through a state of shock, which may bring about a constant reappearance of traumatic memories. This type of reaction is known as post-traumatic stress disorder and can be detrimental to the sufferer, as well as those close to him or her.
How To Spot Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Yourself or Others:
Post-traumatic stress disorder may affect each patient differently. Many sufferers report a loss of appetite, fatigue, stomach problems, headache and excessive sweating. Those suffering from post-traumatic stress may also find that they are easily frightened, constantly fearful, are quick to anger, have feelings of hopelessness, are anxious, suffer from stress, become distrusting, or have lost touch with themselves or reality.
Post-traumatic stress disorder generally appears within a few days of experiencing a highly traumatic event. However, some sufferers don’t fall victim to the disorder until months or even years afterward. This disorder may cause a person to constantly relive the event through thoughts and memories, which can affect relationships with others, causing a victim to become withdrawn from society. The National Center for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a wealth of information relating to the treatment and caring for a person with PTSD.
When dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder, it is important to give a patient adequate time to sort through feelings and recover from the event. Instead of hiding feelings of sadness and grief, it is imperative that a victim be allowed to experience these feelings deeply, as this is an important part of the healing process. Family and friends of a patient should also be supportive, provide a source of strength and understanding and make efforts to gain the victim’s trust. Though post-traumatic stress disorder can cause a great deal of pain and fear, it can be handled with proper understanding, patience and time.

Designs For Health CatecholaCalm 90 Caps $42 Designs For Health CatecholaCalm 90 Caps Description: A unique formulation specially designed for ?burned-out? anxious people. Long term stress and anxiety lead to adrenal exhaustion, low cortisol, and elevated catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine).It is now becoming increasingly evident, based both on research data and anecdotal reports, that chronic stress can no longer be defined strictly in terms of the degree of cortisol elevation or depression. In contrast, research data suggests that, as chronic stress inevitably leads to a state of adrenocortical exhaustion or ?burn-out,? a compensatory adrenal response will often occur in the form of increased sympathetic, catecholamine activity. Because anecdotal and research information suggests that this is becoming an increasingly more common phenomenon, often seen with such conditions as post-traumatic stress disorder and classic fibromyalgia, it has become necessary to employ formulations that not only optimize cortisol balance, but optimize catecholamine imbalance also, particularly when sympathetic responses appear to be excessive.
