Some folks just might be asking just what is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, will Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can occur after you have been through a traumatic event. A traumatic event is something horrible and scary that you see or that happens to you. During this type of event, you think that your life or others' lives are in danger. You may feel afraid or feel that you have no control over what is happening.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Program scheduled to be held in Claremont New Hampshire, anyone which has gone through a life-threatening event can develop PTSD. These events sure can include the following.
- Combat or military exposure
- Child sexual or physical abuse
- Terrorist attacks
- Sexual or physical assault
- Serious accidents, such as a car wreck
- Natural disasters, such as a fire, tornado, hurricane, flood, or earthquake
After the event, folks may feel scared, confused, or angry. If these feelings don't go away or they get worse, folks may have PTSD. These symptoms may disrupt their life, making it hard to continue with their every day activities.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Program scheduled to be held in Claremont New Hampshire, did I hear you ask how does PTSD develop? Will all folks with PTSD have lived through a traumatic event that caused them to fear for their lives, see horrible things, and feel helpless. Strong emotions caused by the event create changes in the brain that may result in PTSD. Most folks who go through a traumatic event have some symptoms at the beginning. Yet only some will develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. It isn't clear why some folks develop PTSD and others don't. How likely folks are to get PTSD depends on many different things.
- How intense the trauma was or how long it lasted
- If you lost someone you were close to or were hurt
- How close you were to the event
- How strong your reaction was
- How much you felt in control of events
- How much help and support you got after the event
Many folks who develop PTSD get better at some time. But about 1 out of 3 folks with PTSD may continue to have some symptoms. Even if they continue to have symptoms, treatment can help folks to cope. Folks symptoms don't have to interfere with their everyday activities, work, and relationships.
I sure do hope that many of you folks reading my little ole blog post, will take the time to attend this here Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Program this evening at 7:00 P.M.
Have a good one
