It is included for informational purposes only, and has not been reviewed by The Alliance. Overview The four major symptoms of Rape-related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder are: Re-experiencing the trauma Rape victims may experience uncontrollable intrusive thoughts about the rape, essentially unable to stop remembering the incident. Many rape victims have realistic nightmares and dreams about the actual rape. In addition, victims may relive the event through flashbacks, during which victims experience the traumatic event as if it was happening now. Additionally, victims are distressed by any event that symbolizes the trauma of rape. Victims avoid talking about the event and will avoid any stimuli or situations which remind them of the rape. Social withdrawal The second major RR-PTSD symptom for rape survivors is social withdrawal. It has been described as psychic numbing, denial and a feeling of being emotionally dead. They do not experience feelings of any kind. One way it shows up in the lives of survivors is a diminished interest in living. It is not that they are suicidal, but they have no interest in their children, in their jobs, and what feelings they do experience have a very narrow range. Victims experiencing RR-PTSD may not feel joy, pain, or really much of anything; many experience a kind of amnesia. In addition, victims with RR-PTSD may not remember the details of what happened to them.

Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a prevalent and disabling disorder. By definition prior psychological trauma plays a causal role in the disorder, and psychotherapy is a widely accepted intervention. Nevertheless there is growing evidence that PTSD is characterized by specific psychobiological dysfunctions, and this has contributed to a growing interest in the use of medication in its treatment. Objectives: The authors aimed to undertake a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of the pharmacotherapy of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following the guidelines and using the software of the Cochrane Collaboration, and to provide an estimate of the effects of medication in this disorder. Secondary objectives were to explore questions about whether particular classes of medication are more effective and/or acceptable than others in the treatment of PTSD, and about which factors (clinical and methodological) predict response to pharmacotherapy. Search strategy: Selection criteria: All RCTs of PTSD (including both placebo controlled and comparative trials), whether published or unpublished, but completed prior to the end of 1999 were considered for the review.

Extractions: Fortunately, good, evidence based treatments exist for PTSD. Cognitive behavioral interventions in particular appear to be effective. Cognitive behavioral treatments focus on reducing trauma related anxiety and avoidance in order to help people overcome their trauma related fears. Medications have also been found to be very helpful, and in adults, two medications have been approved by the FDA for use with PTSD: sertraline and paroxetine.

It affects 35% of trauma victims and women are two times more likely to suffer from it than men. The symptoms of PTSD surface after the event has ended, sometimes as long as several years later. A person suffering from PTSD often experiences the following: Flashback - Reliving the event with all its painful memories and emotions. When this occurs, the persons attention is completely diverted from the present reality and their surroundings. Unreal Reality - A state of mind like sleepwalking in which the person behaves as if they are actually experiencing the event again. The person is not completely aware of what he is doing. It is like he is in a dream state. (He may, though, be aware of this state.) For example: A war veteran who hears a jackhammer pounding pavement may think he is under enemy fire. He becomes fearful, trying to find somewhere to hide.

This article exemplifies the AAFP 2000 Annual Clinical Focus on mental health. Post-traumatic stress disorder, a psychiatric disorder, arises following exposure to perceived life-threatening trauma. Its symptoms can mimic those of anxiety or depressive disorders, but with appropriate screening, the diagnosis is easily made. Current treatment strategies combine patient education; pharmacologic interventions, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, trazodone and clonidine; and psychotherapy. As soon after the trauma as possible, techniques to prevent the development of post-traumatic stress disorder, such as structured stress debriefings, should be administered. A high index of suspicion for post-traumatic stress disorder is needed in patients with a history of significant trauma. (Am Fam Physician 2000;62:1035-40,1046.)

Extractions: See page 2306 for definitions of strength-of-evidence levels. P ost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that occurs following exposure to a traumatic event. The disorder has not been extensively studied in primary care; however, the events of September 11, 2001, raised both public and professional awareness of PTSD. Many more cases may now be diagnosed in family practice patients, because they are more apt to disclose information to their physicians and because physicians are more aware of the diagnosis. One study estimated that 11.8 percent of patients presenting to a primary care clinic met the diagnostic criteria for PTSD.

One of the most vexing issues to be encountered in psychology is the identification-for clinical and forensic purposes-of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (1994) lists PTSD (309.81) under anxiety disorders, stating that it may result from direct or indirect exposure to trauma. Its essential features include intrusive and avoidance symptoms , and symptoms of hyperarousal , for greater than 1 month and causing clinically significant distress or impairment in important life areas. Indirect traumata may include observing the serious injury or death of another person through violence, accident, war, or disaster or the chance encountering of a corpse or body parts. Although Adjustment Disorder and PTSD both require a psychosocial stressor, PTSD is identified by an extreme stressor and specific symptoms, while Adjustment Disorder may be triggered by a stressor of any severity and can involve a wide range of symptoms.

INTRODUCTION ADRENERGIC RECEPTOR REGULATION AND STRESS THE PLATELET ALPHA-2 ADRENERGIC RECEPTOR AS A MODEL Brain noradrenergic and adrenergic systems and their receptors, then, play key roles in a variety of important affective and behavioral changes associated with the stress response. In turn, these initially-adaptive changes are pathologically altered in PTSD (and perhaps, other psychiatric disorders). Unfortunately, direct investigation of the role of these systems and their receptors in human psychiatric disorders has been difficult. A variety of indirect methods have been developed, including challenge paradigms, measurement of peripheral catecholamines and their metabolites, and measurement of adrenergic receptors and their functioning in peripheral tissues (e.g., platelets and lymphocytes).

Extractions: var sec = "test_nav"; Some people have experienced one or more exceptionally stressful events in their lives. Such an event may involve loss of life, threatened physical harm or violence to yourself or to someone close to you. It may also involve a sudden and unexpected death. If you have experienced such an event, or several events, try to recall the one event that was the most stressful or upsetting. Then rate on the scale below (the SPRINT questionnaire) how much that event has bothered you in the past week. The Short PTSD Rating Interview (SPRINT) was developed by Jonathan Davidson, MD . Before answering these 8 SPRINT questions, please write down the particular event you have selected. The SPRINT has been developed to help you evaluate possible symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and thereby assist you and your healthcare professional in identifying the disorder. This self test does not substitute for a diagnosis by a healthcare professional. A healthcare professional is the only person who can appropriately diagnose you.

Extractions: One hundred and thirty people working as prostitutes in San Francisco were interviewed regarding the extent of violence in their lives and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Fifty-seven percent reported that they had been sexually assaulted as children and 49% reported that they had been physically assaulted as children. As adults in prostitution, 82% had been physically assaulted; 83% had been threatened with a weapon; 68% had been raped while working as prostitutes; and 84% reported current or past homelessness. Most discussions of the public health risks of prostitution have focused on sexually-transmitted disease (Weiner, 1996; Plant et al., 1989). A recent editorial in a major medical journal acknowledged the danger of violence to those prostituted, yet concluded that the overall health risks of street prostitution were minimal (Lancet, 1996). In this paper, we discuss a study of the violence experienced by people working as prostitutes in a city in the U.S.A., and some of the consequent harm to physical and emotional health.

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: having frequent memories of the event, or in young children, play in which some or all of the trauma is repeated over and over

Extractions: This section describes the symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder employed by psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. In my own face-to-face and online therapy practice , I do not treat clients as manifestations of mental illnesses in need of medical fixing. No one is merely a case of bipolar disorder , an obsessive-compulsive , or a paranoid schizophrenic . In my view, formal diagnostic categories hold some value in terms of contextual information, but they play a much less important role than the specific personal circumstances of a given client. If you are a client, you are first and foremost a specific, unique individual. Nonetheless, in my experience of working with clients who have received formal psychiatric diagnoses from other mental health professionals, I have often found that clients feel they lack adequate information about what these diagnostic labels actually mean. The entries in this section aim to provide the basic facts about each of several diagnostic labels. Please note that the diagnostic information provided here is for educational purposes only and cannot replace the advice of a qualified mental health professional. More information about diagnostic labels is available on the page on the DSM and ICD Symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
