Post-traumatic stress disorder, or “PTSD,” is an illness that can happen after individuals see or experience a trauma. Equally important, trauma is defined as a prevailing incident that involves solemn death or injury, or the chance of solemn death or injury. Certainly, trauma can include medical events, such as a heart attack, surgery, or treatment in a hospital’s intensive care unit (“ICU”) or it can include traumatic events that one witnessed or experienced in one’s lifetime. Unfortunately, PTSD can cause anxiety, depression, nightmares, distressing memories and other symptoms.
Not everybody who experiences or survives through a trauma will get PTSD. In general, clinicians do not know why some people get PTSD while other individuals do not.
PTSD can happen at any age and Thriveworks PTSD Counseling Woodstock can help you with your PTSD today.
The symptoms of PTSD include:
These symptoms can begin immediately after the trauma and if they last longer than 3 days, then they might be symptoms of an interrelated condition called acute stress disorder (ASD). If they last longer than a month, they could be symptoms of PTSD.
Sometimes symptoms of PTSD may start several years later. The symptoms of PTSD repeatedly affect a person’s daily life, job, and relationships. Symptoms of PTSD may come and go. They might return when individuals are under stress or hear or see something that reminds them of the trauma. If you are experiencing any of the aforementioned symptoms of PTSD, don’t take it lightly and call Thriveworks PTSD Counseling of Woodstock. By all means, we can help you take back your life!
