WHAT IS POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER?

Some people have the misfortune of witnessing or being the victims of traumatic events such as emotional or physical abuse, accidents, civil unrest, war, and natural disasters.

As you can imagine, such events can inflict profound emotional wounds that don’t always heal fully with time.

PTSD Test

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition that occurs in apparently healthy individuals who’ve been exposed to extreme stressors such as car accidents, sexual assault, war, unexpected deaths, etc.

In general, people with this disorder experience flashbacks, hypervigilance, panic attacks, and insomnia. On top of that, those with post-traumatic stress disorder are at risk of developing depression or anxiety.

Does everyone who Experiences Trauma get PTSD?

But not all people who survive a traumatic event end up experiencing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Even if your immediate response to a traumatic event is extreme, it’s not a sign of mental illness. In fact, it’s perfectly normal to have an intense reaction to a potentially traumatic event. The problems and symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder occur when we can’t get past the painful memories that might follow. Some symptoms can be identified in this PTSD quiz.

Post traumatic stress disorder is an anxiety disorder characterized by three broad categories of problems: involuntary recurrent memories of past trauma, avoidance of trauma-associated stimuli, and persistent hyperactivity and hypervigilance.

  • This PTSD quiz may identify signs of post traumatic stress in people from all categories.

    Signs of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

    People who identify with the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder can experience a wide array of physiological and psychological symptoms.

    Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms:

    • Flashbacks
    • Recurrent memories of past traumatic experiences
    • Insomnia, nightmares, and night terrors
    • Memory gaps
    • Muscle tension
    • Restlessness and vigilance
    • Guilt and sadness
    • Lack of focus
    • Outbursts of anger
    • Self-destructive behaviors
    • Crushing feeling of loneliness and isolation
    • Agoraphobia
    • An overall grim perspective on the future due to PTSD

    How Long do PTSD Symptoms Last?

    If you experience these symptoms for more than a few weeks, make sure to consult a licensed mental health professional, this PTSD quiz is not a diagnosis. Also, keep in mind that sometimes symptoms do not manifest until six months or more after the traumatic event, so regardless of what the conclusion of this PTSD quiz may be, continue to monitor your emotions and symptoms.

    How is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Treated?

    Since this disorder is often accompanied by depression and anxiety, it can be quite challenging for healthcare professionals to determine the right course of treatment After taking an online quiz to address your emotions and experiences, a licensed professional will also take an inventory of your symptoms before moving forward with treatment.

    Most experts choose to approach this condition from both a pharmacological and psychological angle.

    Medication for PTSD Treatment

    After weeks or even months of flashbacks and nightmares, people with post-traumatic stress disorder often end up feeling ‘drained’ and powerless. To avoid a tragic outcome, psychiatrists often recommend hospitalization and drug therapy. 

    Psychotherapy for PTSD

    For people with this disorder, therapy represents a safe space where they can explore and relive a traumatic experience.

    Under the careful guidance of a licensed therapist, anyone who may be experiencing symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder can learn to overcome past trauma and rediscover the joy of living.

    It’s a relatively slow process that involves gradual exposure to past traumatic events through visualization exercises.

    Online Therapy for PTSD Treatment

    One valuable option for therapy to address post-traumatic stress disorder, is online therapy, as one can do it from the comfort of their home. For more information on getting online counseling help today, check out BetterHelp on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube.

    I have been told by several family members that I have changed dramatically since and even before the end of my marriage. So it was nice to be able to maybe have a helping hand in figuring out why I seem to have issues.

    Some of questions such as the goals and social questions were hard to answer. My trauma occurred when I ‘was a child. So, I don’t know how my life has changed from before the trauma. Actually, it’s a question lingers. I wonder who I could have been.
