If an individual has been subjected to a traumatic incident wherein the individual witnessed, experienced, or was faced with an event that included real or impending death, major harm, or a risk to physical health, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop.
An estimated 70 percent of adults in the US will encounter at least one traumatic incident during their lifetime. Of those, 20 percent will acquire PTSD. In fact, the US Department of Veteran Affairs estimates that approximately 8 million persons in the United States suffer from PTSD each year. Because so many people are impacted, it’s critical to understand what Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is, how it’s treated, and whether it ever goes away.
During the diagnosis, the way a person reacts to the traumatic experience is also taken into account. If the person’s reaction was one of extreme fear, helplessness, or terror, and these symptoms continued, the person may be suffering from PTSD. A person suffering from PTSD relives the terrible incident in the following ways:
Recurrent and disturbing memories of the incident
- Event-related intrusive thoughts
- Recurring nightmares/dreams
- Vivid visions/hallucinations or flashbacks of the incident allow you to relive the experience.
- Overstated emotional or physical responses to event-related images, scents, noises, or ideas
