Hi, I'm anne Marie,
- 00:02 - 00:05
this is my presentation about PTSD and kind of
- 00:05 - 00:07
like all the things that go along with it.
- 00:07 - 00:10
So first after definition,
- 00:10 - 00:12
a definition of PTSD is a mental health
- 00:12 - 00:15
condition that is triggered by a terrifying event,
- 00:15 - 00:19
either experiencing it or witnessing it and then I kind of have
- 00:19 - 00:22
like the brain with the PTSD and then things that like,
- 00:22 - 00:27
you know, come along with PTSD like anxiety and flashbacks fear.
- 00:27 - 00:30
Um and then just a little quote that says the
- 00:30 - 00:34
body remembers stuffed until an event is sound a site,
- 00:34 - 00:37
it touch a word or a person awakens them.
- 00:38 - 00:39
Yeah,
- 00:39 - 00:42
I just thought that was like went really good with the definition
- 00:42 - 00:45
because it shows how much of an impact it really can have like
- 00:45 - 00:50
with a person even triggering something um it can be really difficult to
- 00:50 - 00:55
live with this and then next I have the symptoms of PTSD So
- 00:56 - 01:00
symptoms are vivid flashbacks, easily frightened by loud noises,
- 01:00 - 01:03
can be triggered by certain images or places.
- 01:03 - 01:10
So like if you were to go out and you see something that just like something that
- 01:10 - 01:14
went with, like what happened to you dramatically,
- 01:14 - 01:19
it could really trigger you and make you upset um the impacts on life, it can have,
- 01:19 - 01:19
its,
- 01:19 - 01:22
it can lead to isolation from others and it
- 01:22 - 01:27
can cause severe depression when you just um like
- 01:27 - 01:31
when you are isolated and when you want to stay home all the time and not do anything,
- 01:31 - 01:32
you know,
- 01:32 - 01:35
it can really be a toll on you in your life
- 01:35 - 01:38
and then next I have just like facts about PTSD.
- 01:38 - 01:39
Um
- 01:40 - 01:46
The first fact is there isn't just traumatic things like war that can trigger this,
- 01:46 - 01:48
it can also be things like sexual assaults.
- 01:48 - 01:51
Um my other facts are,
- 01:51 - 01:54
women are more likely to suffer from PTSD than men
- 01:54 - 01:57
because women are 80% more likely to experience sexual assault,
- 01:57 - 01:59
which is really sad,
- 01:59 - 02:08
but those are like things that usually um come like things that cause PTSD.
- 02:08 - 02:11
Um and my third fact is there are three different types
- 02:11 - 02:17
of PTSD delayed onset PTSD complex PTSD and PTSD birth trauma.
- 02:18 - 02:24
And then lastly have organizations you can visit to kind of cope with your PTSD.
- 02:24 - 02:28
Um One organization is Masha,
- 02:29 - 02:30
um I think that's how you say it,
- 02:30 - 02:37
it focuses on finding ways to live with little um PTSD and gives guidance.
- 02:37 - 02:40
So it finds ways just to like help deal with it, you know,
- 02:40 - 02:42
you're never gonna really get rid of it,
- 02:42 - 02:48
but it finds ways to help cope and then um make clinic
- 02:48 - 02:53
finds other people the same like with the same struggles as you
- 02:53 - 02:57
and gives you opportunity to talk to them and go through therapy together.
- 02:57 - 03:01
So you know, you guys may not have the same exact struggles,
- 03:01 - 03:03
but you know what each other is dealing with.
- 03:03 - 03:04
Um at the end of the day,
- 03:04 - 03:08
like you both are going through something and it's kind of a way to
- 03:08 - 03:14
like work together and really bond with someone over something that you know,
- 03:14 - 03:21
you might not be able to get rid of, but you can find a way to cope with it and um
- 03:22 - 03:26
working together. So yeah, that was my presentation on PTSD.
