NMHA Membership Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an extremely debilitating condition that can occur after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened. Traumatic events that can trigger PTSD include violent personal assaults such as rape or mugging, natural or human-caused disasters, accidents, or military combat. Military troops who served in Vietnam and the Gulf Wars; rescue workers involved in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City Bombing; survivors of accidents, rape, physical and sexual abuse, as well as other crimes; immigrants fleeing violence in their home countries; survivors of the 1994 California earthquake, the 1997 South Dakota floods, and hurricanes Hugo and Andrew; and people who witness traumatic events are among the people who may develop PTSD. Families of victims can also develop the disorder. Fortunately, through research supported by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), effective treatments have been developed to help people with PTSD. Research is also helping scientists better understand the condition and how it affects the brain and the rest of the body.

Follow Up Counseling After Disaster: Working With Traumatic Dreams Toward Healing Penny Dahlen, Ed.D., NCC, LPC University of Wyoming ABSTRACT This article discusses posttraumatic nightmares as a symptom of PostTraumatic Stress Disorder. The differences between ordinary nightmares and posttraumatic nightmares are described. A Traumatic Dream Defusing Process is presented for working with posttraumatic dreams in counseling following a traumatic event. Techniques for assisting survivors to process their traumatic dreams outside of the counseling session are addressed. Follow Up Counseling After Disaster: Working With Traumatic Dreams Toward Healing INTRODUCTION In 1900 Sigmund Freud published The Interpretation of Dreams which brought the mystery of dreaming into scientific investigation. He considered dreams to reveal unconscious material and placed importance on deciphering the meaning of the dream. Jung (1964) rejected Freud's theory and approached dreams from working with symbols and mythology and worked with series of dreams in order to understand his patients' psychological difficulties. In their work with dreams, neither Freud nor Jung recognized trauma as a primary source of a nightmare. It wasn't until the 1960's when Vietnam War Veterans began having nightmares about war events that traumatic dreams were given much investigation (Barrett, 1996). By the 1980 publication of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (Third Edition), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) acknowledged and labeled traumatic stress and included nightmares as one of the symptoms.

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.)

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.

Lawyers PURPOSE The purpose of this guide is to assist you, the veteran, or your survivor(s), in presenting your claim for benefits based on exposure to psychologically traumatic events during military service that has resulted in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is always best to seek the assistance of an experienced veterans service representative when presenting a claim to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This guide describes the VA's current programs for providing disability compensation to veterans who suffer from PTSD, as well as for the survivors of such veterans. Under current VA regulations, you can be paid compensation for PTSD if you currently have a clear medical diagnosis of the disorder, evidence that a sufficiently traumatic event (called a “stressor”) occurred during active military service and medical evidence that the in-service stressor is causally related to your PTSD. Once the VA determines that your PTSD is service-connected, it will then decide how seriously your symptoms impair your social and industrial abilities ( i.e.

Search September 9, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Mental Health and Behavior Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) What Is PTSD? Post-traumatic stress disorder, also known as PTSD, is among only a few mental disorders that are triggered by a disturbing outside event, quite unlike other psychiatric disorders such as depression Many Americans experience individual traumatic events ranging from car and airplane accidents to sexual assault and domestic violence. Other experiences, including those associated with natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and tornadoes, affect multiple people simultaneously. Dramatic and tragic events, like the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, and wars occur, and with media exposure such as we have today, even people not directly involved might be affected. Simply put, PTSD is a state in which you "can't stop remembering." Although the disorder must be diagnosed by a mental health professional, symptoms of PTSD are clearly defined. To be diagnosed with PTSD, you must have been in a situation in which you were afraid for your safety or your life, or you must have experienced something that made you feel fear, helplessness, or horror. The worse the trauma, the more likely a person will develop PTSD, and the worse the symptoms. The most severely affected are unable to work, have trouble with relationships, and have great difficulty parenting their children.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder at a Glance What is the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)? Post-traumatic stress disorder (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 experienced as a child, had an effect on an the child'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 post-traumatic 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.
