The Symptoms of PTSD
The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) vary depending on the person. It is important to remember that not all people will experience PTSD because they have been through a traumatic event, and those who do may find it difficult to function day-to-day as their feelings linger long after the incident has taken place. If you or someone close to you seems like they are experiencing day-to-day difficulty with this condition, it's recommended to seek post-traumatic stress disorder treatment.
Some people develop PTSD after witnessing or experiencing a horrifyng event. People may experience all sorts of emotions in response to trauma, but those with PTSD tend to have symptoms that interfere with their life and relationships for months and even years following the incident.
People living with PTSD experience intense and disturbing thoughts and feelings related to their traumatic experiences — long after the disturbing events occurred. They may relive the event through flashbacks or nightmares, and often experience sadness, fear or anger. They may also feel detached or estranged from other people.
Symptoms can vary from person to person, as well as over time. If left untreated, severe PTSD can lead to long-lasting personality changes — which often involve serious individual and social consequences. In the most severe cases, it can lead to chemical dependency, self-harm, and/or suicide.
Avoidance Symptoms
Avoidance symptoms are a common symptom in people with post-traumatic stress disorder. The avoidance of places, events or objects that may be reminders to the traumatic event can lead to other issues such as depression and anxiety.
Arousal and reactivity symptoms
May include: being easily startled, feeling tense or on edge, having difficulty sleeping. The constant presence of these PTSD-related arousal and reaction symptoms can make it difficult to live a typical life without experiencing intense emotions; including anger outbursts at any given moment.
Cognition and mood symptoms
Cognition and mood symptoms can make the person feel detached from friends or family. Symptoms may include trouble remembering key features of a traumatic event, negative thoughts about oneself, distorted feelings like guilt or blame for an incident that didn't involve them, loss of interest in enjoyable activities--these are all important signs to look out for when trying to figure out if someone has PTSD. If you're experiencing these emotions yourself it's crucial not only to know what they mean but also seek professional help; this isn't something anyone should have go through on their own!
PTSD symptoms, on the whole, are often grouped into four types:
- Intrusive memories
- Avoidance
- Negative changes in thinking and mood
- Changes in physical and emotional reactions
As many as 10% of those who have experienced a traumatic event like war, natural disasters, or sexual assault will develop PTSD.
These symptoms can include flashbacks to the original trauma and recurring bad dreams that make it difficult for people with PTSD to maintain their day-to-day routine.
Reoccurring thoughts about some aspect from the incident may also be present when triggers such as words, objects or situations remind them of what happened.
This leads up to the person reexperiencing any number of disturbing symptoms including:
- Elevated heart rate or sweating;
- Scared all over again even though you are no longer in danger
- Nightmares
- Flashbacks
