final post
For my final post I chose Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder or PTSD for short. PTSD is caused by a traumatic event in
person’s life. This includes coming home from a war, a rape, a serious vehicle
accident or even a natural disaster. It caused the affected person to feel like
they have no control over a situation causing them to act like they or someone
they know is in danger. Although it is normal for people to have stress from
time to time, these feelings can become a hindrance on their everyday lives if
they are prolonged.
People can experience the symptoms of PTSD in
several different ways. One way is reliving the trauma. A person may suffer from
night terrors, memories or even flashbacks of the even that happened. Another
symptom is Avoidance of situations that is a reminder of that situation. For
instance, if a person was in a car accident, they may not be able to go back to
that site. Another way a person can know they may be suffering from PTSD is not
participating in things that used to be enjoyable. The person may not want to do
something they used to because it’s a reminder of the stressor. A person may
also feel jittery or over alert feeling like something bad is going to happen at
any second.
To treat PTSD, professionals use the help of
medicine as well as counseling. A person with PTSD Might be prescribed
medication as well. A popular drug prescribed is an
SSRI, which is usually prescribed for the depression. Another Prescription that
may be used is Prazosin which is used to decrease the nightmares someone may
have due to PTSD. Also, cognitive behavioral therapy is used to treat PTSD.
Therapists used prolonged exposure to have the patient overcome the fear of that
event by repetitively talking about it. They also use cognitive processing
therapy, where they try to help you understand how the event has changed your
views, opinions and ideas. Also for
I chose this
topic because I have known a lot of people who suffer from this. I too suffered
from this to an extent. For example, I was in a car accident when I was still on
my driver’s permit. I refused to go back to the spot where it happened for about
a year. Finally, I decided to drive down that road to get over my fears. It was
hard at first but I did it. A friend of mine also had a car accident. Not only
has she never driven on the same road again, but she no longer has a license and
refuses to ever drive again.
