PTSD

What is PTSD

PTSD can develop after a person has experienced or witnessed a traumatic or terrifying event that caused intense fear, helplessness or horror, such as an assault, a car accident, war, natural disaster and more. Many people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event may feel a high level of anxiety, followed by an intense feeling of fear. This fear is accompanied by a strong physical reaction due to a rush of adrenaline, the hormone that allows the body to react to danger quickly. Such reactions are therefore normal and go away a few hours after the event. However, people with post-traumatic stress disorder, these reactions do not disappear completely. Through dreams or flashbacks, they continue to relive the experience with the same reactions as when it first happened.

Treatment

Treatment for PTSD usually combines medication and therapy to support the patient.One effective psychotherapy for PTSD is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The concept behind CBT is that our thoughts about a situation affect how we feel and how we behave in that situation. Other psychological treatments include hypnosis and therapy to safely re-experience and process trauma, relaxation techniques to decrease overall feelings of stress, and group or family therapy to boost social support.The medications used to treat PTSD are a type of antidepressant called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI). SSRIs block the re-absorption of serotonin, which improves communication and functioning throughout the brain. SSRIs are particularly helpful in treating symptoms like anxiety and depression.
