Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Needs Your Attention!
Thesis:
The chronic problem of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is widespread with increasing growth in the armed forces. It alters daily lives of survivors and produces psychobiological impairments. At least 1/3 of individuals who develop PTSD remain symptomatic for three years or longer and are at higher risk of secondary problems.(Gaskell).
In order to find possible treatment options for PTSD patients we must first define it and learn the history of when it became known. Secondly we will examine how it is diagnosed, how it is brought on, patient’s symptoms, and its debilitating effects. After getting a better understanding of what Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is we can then explore different treatment options.
Treatment options will vary for each individual. PTSD has no cure and therefore treatments can only help to a certain extent. Some treatments have been proven very effective and include physical and emotional healing. Clinicians, psychiatrist, and family members can offer immense support to patients and help them accept their condition. That is the first and hardest part to overcome. Next beginning individualized treatment plans become important because each person’s PTSD will vary in severity. Psychiatric therapy, physical therapy, and CAM (Complementary Alternative Medicine) are some effective methods that help survivors cope and return to daily routines. However, there are still multiple treatment options that differ between each individual and medications become a large part of treatment.
I Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a serious psychobiological disorder that needs more attention in treatment options. However, before we can understand the severity of the problem we must define it. a PTSD is developed in response to one or more traumatic events that usually involve a perceived threat to life, physical integrity, and intense fear, helplessness or horror.
