Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is something of an invisible epidemic. The events underlying it are often mysterious and always unpleasant. It is certainly far more widespread than most people realize. For example, a prime cause of PTSD is childhood sexual abuse. About 16% of American women (about 40 million) are sexually abused (including rape, attempted rape, or other form of molestation) before they reach their 18th birthday. Childhood abuse may be the most common cause of PTSD in American women, 10% of whom suffer from PTSD (compared to 5% for men) at some time in their lives

Treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) In 1984, the Center instituted research and treatment programs for PTSD. We now offer cutting-edge cognitive-behavioral therapy programs that typically consist of nine to twelve weekly sessions of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Sessions last about one and a half hours each, and are designed to enable trauma survivors to deal with their feelings of fear, anxiety and stress. Therapy includes discussion of frightening thoughts, relaxation training, confronting safe situations and/or recall of painful memories via imagery to reduce their emotional impact. Another program is available for recent (within one month) trauma survivors and assault victims, to help them get past the post-assault symptoms more quickly and prevent more chronic symptoms from developing. This program includes four weekly two-hour sessions. These sessions may include discussion of the trauma, discussion of current symptoms, discussion of other life issues, and/or techniques to cope with trauma-related symptoms.

If you feel you might be suffering from PTSD you can get some confidential help here. It's been called shell shock, battle fatigue, accident neurosis and post rape syndrome. It has often been misunderstood or misdiagnosed, even though the disorder has very specific symptoms that form a definite psychological syndrome. The disorder is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and it affects hundreds of thousands of people who have been exposed to violent events such as rape, domestic violence, child abuse, war, accidents, natural disasters and political torture. Psychiatrists estimate that up to one to three percent of the population have clinically diagnosable PTSD. Still more show some symptoms of the disorder. While it was once thought to be a disorder of war veterans who had been involved in heavy combat, researchers now know that PTSD can result from many types of trauma, particularly those that include a threat to life. It afflicts both females and males. In some cases the symptoms of PTSD disappear with time, while in others they persist for many years. PTSD often occurs with other psychiatric illnesses, such as depression.

More Information Overview Advancement in the treatment of many cancers has resulted in a growing number of patients who have longer periods of disease-free survival. Paralleling this development, however, is evidence that the experience of being diagnosed with, treated for, and surviving cancer can be accompanied by substantial problems in psychologic well-being for a small but important subset of individuals. [ ] In the past, researchers have not reliably documented an increased prevalence of formal psychiatric disorders or major psychopathology in cancer survivors compared with normal controls or community samples. [ ] Studies examining adult and child survivors of cancer have described heightened psychologic distress [ ] and disturbances in self-esteem, body image, intimacy, and sexuality and have also noted subsyndromal symptoms of anxiety and depression that are related to fears of recurrence and the confrontation with one's mortality. [ ] Investigators have reported the presence of stress or trauma-related symptoms, such as avoidant behaviors, intrusive thoughts, and heightened arousability in survivors of cancer. [

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder at a Glance What is the posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)? PTSD, as such, has been a part of organized psychiatry for only the past twenty years. The concept of PTSD, however, has been well known for over a hundred years under a variety of different names. Certainly, Freud thought that traumatic events in childhood had an effect on an individual's subsequent emotional development. Actually, however, it was his contemporary, Pierre Janet, who wrote most brilliantly and eloquently on traumatic stress. In fact, he was really the first person to describe the full syndrome (group of symptoms) of posttraumatic stress disorder. During World War I, PTSD was called shell shock, and during WW II, it was referred to as combat fatigue. After the Vietnam War, it was often mistakenly called the Post Vietnam Syndrome. Indeed, the understanding and effective treatment of PTSD were actually described in the psychiatric literature well before the Vietnam War. A psychiatrist from Harvard Medical School, Dr. Eric Lindemann at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, was the first to report on the systematic management of PTSD. He did this work after the Coconut Grove fire and tragedy in the 1940's.

However in the past 20 years, PTSD has been diagnosed in rape victims and victims of violent crime; survivors of natural disasters; the families of loved ones lost in the downing of Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland; and survivors of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the random school and workplace shootings, and the release of poisonous gas in a Japanese subway; and, most recently, in the September 11, 2001, World Trade Center and Pentagon terrorist attacks.

Post-traumatic stress disorder From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) , formerly and colloquially called shell shock (this is a World War One term), battle fatigue World War II ), and operational exhaustion Korean War ), is a term for the psychological consequences of exposure to stressful, life-threatening and traumatic experiences. Symptoms include nightmares and flashbacks , sleep abnormalities, extreme distress resulting from personal " triggers ", and emotional detachment with the possibility of simultaneous suffering of other psychiatric disorders. Experiences likely to induce the condition include rape combat exposure, and childhood physical abuse . Unlike brief reactive psychosis , PTSD is a chronic condition. PTSD is distinguished from normal grief and adjustment with traumatic events in that the normal emotional effects of traumatic events will tend to subside after several months or years, while in PTSD the emotional effects are ongoing. Most people who experience traumatic events will not have PTSD. In earlier times and even today, shell shock has been regarded as simple cowardice, an unwillingness to put one's welfare at risk when danger is at hand. The modern psychological evaluation disagrees strongly. Shell shock is a mental condition in which the individual involved is perilously close to a break from reality, usually by succumbing to any of several

To the Mental Health Center Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), once called shell shock or battle fatigue syndrome, is a serious condition that can develop after a person has experienced or witnessed a traumatic or terrifying event in which serious physical harm occurred or was threatened. It is a lasting consequence of traumatic ordeals that cause intense fear, helplessness or horror, such as a sexual or physical assault, the unexpected death of a loved one, an accident, war or natural disaster. Families of victims can also develop the disorder, as can emergency personnel and rescue workers. Most people who experience a traumatic event will have reactions that may include shock, anger, nervousness, fear and even guilt. These reactions are common; and for most people, they go away over time. For a person with PTSD, however, these feelings continue and even increase, becoming so strong that they keep the person from living a normal life. People with PTSD have symptoms for longer than one month and cannot function as well as before the event occurred.
