Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Does anyone know any good websites dealing with post traumatic stress disorder?
Thanks in advance, by the way.
Thanks in advance, by the way.
Thankyou, again.
What is defined as traumatic stress? I know I'm still pretty badly hit from some events last year, but I don't know if its counted as PTSD?
Um...those websites will help more than I can. The symptoms are fairly numerous. I'm still only trying to learn about it myself.

This is a bit of a coincidence
I'm summarising a book on psychiatric injury at work at the moment... done 20,000 words so far (it's EXHAUSTING!) but there's an entire chapter on PTSD, and another chapter on other common illnesses... might this be of some help to you But PTSD is usually a lot more serious than people think and many who considered themselves to have it are really just suffering from pathological grief... I'm not accusing you of this of course
But of the Personal Injury cases we have at work... the ones with PTSD are.. well... in another world tbh.Anyway I'll get my notes on this book for ya tomorrow eh

I'm not trying to get money from anyone. If it turned out to be something less serious I'd be delighted, I assure you. If it turned out I was just being a cry-baby and all I needed was a good slap, I'd be over the moon.
Well let's hope that's the case
Probably the best course of action would be to see a psychiatrist, though, if you are worried. A quick questionnaire or interview and a couple of sessions can produce amazing results!
I'm no doctor though... and my main purpose for doing this book is legal, but I'm sure there'll be things I can pick out which will help you.. I certainly hope so
Hey mate I've tried to extract the most relevant part of my report (see attached). I've also included some suggested methods of treatment if you feel it might be necessary... in particular (to determine whether or not you are suffering from PTSD) see how much of the following applies to you:
Cardical characteristics of PTSD
• Nervousness – The person is apprehensive, on edge, tense, jumpy, easily startled and fearful.
• Preoccupation with the trauma – The person talks a great deal about the accident, speculating that more serious injury or even death could have occurred.
• Pain or physical discomfort – The person complains of pain or physical discomfort that appears disproportionate to the actual injury incurred.
• Sleeplessness – The person complains of insomnia with resultant tiredness and fatigue.
• Flashbacks and nightmares – The person relives the trauma during flashbacks or nightmares with similar emotional reactions as if the accident happening again. Intrusive thoughts related to the trauma are common.
• Deterioration of performance – The person experiences inability or difficulty in carrying out usual life activities such as work, family responsibilities, social and recreational activities, or any activity engaged in before the trauma.
• Phobia – The person experiences fearfulness and avoidance of the place where the accident occurred or extreme apprehension associated with the same activity related to the trauma.
• Personality Change – The person becomes withdrawn, moody, irritable, distracted, forgetful, and unlike his usual self.
• Dudgeon – The person gives expression to frequent unprovoked outbursts of anger with complaints about the carelessness of others and a retributive attitude. Quarrelsome behaviour may be evident.
• Depression – At some point following the trauma the person feels ‘blue’ or ‘down in the dumps’. A loss of self-confidence, a pessimistic attitude, brooding about past events, or feeling sorry for oneself may be noted. Social withdrawal, lack of pleasure, and a look of sadness on the face of a formerly cheerful and outgoing person may be extant.
I hope I've been helpful. Good luck

Thanks for the rep elles! Btw if anyone wants any more info from this book PM me!Thanks for that. That pretty much sums up what's going on here, right enough.

I'm sorry to hear that. I must recommend you at least go to see your GP about it, and don't think you can't get better because you can I know I've said it before, but I've seen some absolutely amazing results through psychiatric treatment.Related discussions
