P OSTTRAUMATIC S TRESS D ISORDER (PTSD) No. 70 All children and adolescents experience stressful events which can affect them both emotionally and physically. Their reactions to stress are usually brief, and they recover without further problems. A child or adolescent who experiences a catastrophic event may develop ongoing difficulties known as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The stressful or traumatic event involves a situation where someone’s life has been threatened or severe injury has occurred (ex. they may be the victim or a witness of physical abuse, sexual abuse, violence in the home or in the community, automobile accidents, natural disasters (such as flood, fire, earthquakes), and being diagnosed with a life threatening illness). A child’s risk of developing PTSD is related to the seriousness of the trauma, whether the trauma is repeated, the child’s proximity to the trauma, and his/her relationship to the victim(s). Following the trauma, children may initially show agitated or confused behavior. They also may show intense fear, helplessness, anger, sadness, horror or denial. Children who experience repeated trauma may develop a kind of emotional numbing to deaden or block the pain and trauma. This is called dissociation. Children with PTSD avoid situations or places that remind them of the trauma. They may also become less responsive emotionally, depressed, withdrawn, and more detached from their feelings. A child with PTSD may also re-experience the traumatic event by:

Many Americans will experience traumatic events ranging from car and airplane accidents to sexual assault and war. Such experiences also include domestic violence, natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and tornadoes. Dramatic and tragic events as the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon occur. Simply, PTSD is a state in which you "can't stop remembering." Although the disorder must be diagnosed by a mental health professional, symptoms of PTSD are clearly defined. To be diagnosed with PTSD, you must have been in a situation in which you were afraid for your safety or your life, or you must have experienced something that made you feel fear, helplessness, or horror.

Home Topics Facts General What is PTSD Overview Epidemiology Treatment Veterans Disasters Specific Publications Documents Video Assessment About NCPTSD Most Popular Pages: What is Posttraumatic Stress Disorder? A National Center for PTSD Fact Sheet Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as military combat, natural disasters, terrorist incidents, serious accidents, or violent personal assaults like rape. People who suffer from PTSD often relive the experience through nightmares and flashbacks, have difficulty sleeping, and feel detached or estranged, and these symptoms can be severe enough and last long enough to significantly impair the person's daily life. PTSD is marked by clear biological changes as well as psychological symptoms. PTSD is complicated by the fact that it frequently occurs in conjunction with related disorders such as depression, substance abuse, problems of memory and cognition, and other problems of physical and mental health. The disorder is also associated with impairment of the person's ability to function in social or family life, including occupational instability, marital problems and divorces, family discord, and difficulties in parenting. Understanding PTSD PTSD is not a new disorder. There are written accounts of similar symptoms that go back to ancient times, and there is clear documentation in the historical medical literature starting with the Civil War, when a PTSD-like disorder was known as "Da Costa's Syndrome." There are particularly good descriptions of posttraumatic stress symptoms in the medical literature on combat veterans of World War II and on Holocaust survivors.

PTSD treatment RELATEDS By Ronald Pies, M.D. (WebMD) The woman was desperate, afraid. She heard voices in her head and feared she was going crazy. "The world means to do me harm," she told her psychiatrist. "Someone might want to kill me." But the woman hearing these voices wasn't crazy. As she soon revealed in the course of her therapy, the voice she heard was that of a family member who had abused her. Rather than losing her mind, the woman was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a condition that afflicts 8 percent of Americans, according to a survey reported in the December 1995 Archives of General Psychiatry. Doctors have known about PTSD since at least the Civil War, and have developed many treatments in recent years. While some have proven successful, others including a popular new therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Re-processing (EMDR) are controversial.
