Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating condition that often follows a terrifying physical or emotional event - causing the person who survived the event to have persistent, frightening thoughts and memories, or flashbacks, of the ordeal.

124. Suicide And Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Why is it so hard for us to recover from being suicidal? Suicidal feelings aretraumatic in themselves. http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/ptsd.htm

Combat veterans, sexual assault survivors, and other victims of trauma are vulnerable to a condition called Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). People with PTSD suffer from a range of symptoms that interfere with their capacities to enjoy normal life. People who suffered suicidal conditions, particularly conditions that were chronic, recurrent, or included one or more attempts, may also be victims of PTSD. According to its definition, PTSD may result when a person suffers an event or situation that is outside the range of normal experience, exceeds the individual’s perceived ability to meet its demands, and poses a serious threat to the loss of life. Suicidal people meet the formal criteria for PTSD. Severe and prolonged suicidal pain is not something that most people suffer. People in suicidal crises feel that they are at the breaking point of what they can cope with. Since 30,000 people die by suicide each year in the United States, it is a condition that poses a serious threat to the loss of life. Many of us are haunted by memories of acute crises, acts of self-injury, or extended periods of severe depression. Like citizens of a besieged city, we lived through periods of time in which we had a realistic and unrelenting fear that we would soon be dead. We suffer PTSD simply from having been suicidal, independently of whatever particular traumas may have contributed to our becoming suicidal, such as abuse during childhood or exposure to the violent death of someone else. Our “suicide PTSD” is also distinct from whatever traumatic events may happen as a result of being suicidal, such as involuntary hospitalization or job discrimination. Undoubtedly, most of us suffered many types of traumatic events in our lives, and these events and their consequences need to be addressed in recovery. But the suicidal crises themselves may be events that induce PTSD.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Also known as "rape trauma syndrome", PTSD is a range of behaviors and feelings that are often experienced by someone who has been physically and emotionally harmed. As a contemporary issue, PTSD was first linked with veterans of the war in Vietnam. Many of the signs of PTSD are shared by victims of accidents, violent crimes, sexual assault, or other experiences in which trust is violated and power is taken away. What Are the Signs? In the ACUTE PHASE (the days or weeks following the assault), the survivor may experience: feelings of fear/terror mood swings hypervigilance to potential dangers denial/avoidance of thoughts about the assault nightmares or flashbacks eating or sleeping disturbances recurring nausea or soreness self-blame suicidal thoughts inability to tell anyone about what happened In the LONG-TERM (months or even years after the assault), the survivor may experience: On-going sleep and eating disturbances Dreams, nightmares, and recovered memories Fear of sex/lack of sexual desire Phobias about situations or things which trigger memories about the assault Survivors may or may not openly express which of these signs they are experiencing. Some survivors work very hard to give the appearance of 'control', regardless of their real feelings.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating condition that follows a terrifying event. Often, people with PTSD have persistent frightening thoughts and memories of their ordeal and feel emotionally numb, especially with people to whom they were once close. War veterans first brought PTSD, once referred to as shell shock or battle fatigue, to the public's attention, but it can result from any number of traumatic incidents. These include kidnapping, serious accidents such as car or train wrecks, natural disasters such as floods or earthquakes, violent attacks such as a mugging, rape, torture, or being held captive. The event that triggers it may be something that threatened the person's life or the life of someone close to her or him. Or it could be something witnessed, such as mass destruction after a plane crash or a terrorist incident.

Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration ... Additional Info What Is It? Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a group of distressing symptoms that sometimes occur following a frightening event. The event, called a stressor, is any situation in which a person has been physically injured, has been threatened with death or bodily injury, or has witnessed the death or injury of someone else. By definition, the trauma must cause a strong experience of intense fear, horror or helplessness. Some psychological and physiological arousal seems to be a key to developing this disorder.

It can be a very severe kind of illness that limits people to an extent that is completely foreign to most of us. In a given year, more than 10 million Americans (about 4%) will experience the life-disrupting symptoms of PTSD, which was first widely recognized during World War I and known as "shell shock" or "battle fatigue." Other "manmade" tragedies such as criminal assaults or sexual attacks can provoke PTSD symptoms, as can a fire, earthquake, or other natural disasters. Accidents car and airplane crashes, for example are also common precipitators of PTSD. By definition, the disorder can only develop in response to a traumatic event, says Edna Foa, Ph.D., director of the University of Pennsylvania's Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety. It can't arise from other seriously stressful occurrences that are less extreme losing a job, or going through a divorce.

Many Vietnam veterans have been worried for a long time that the nature of the conflict in Iraq is a sure-fire mechanism for creating PTSD in our troops. The relentless guerilla-type warfare, the lengthening deployments ensured by the imposition of stop-loss and the sheer bloodiness of this conflict are solid prognosticators of Vietnam era levels. Recently, the New England Journal of Medicine published an Army study indicating 1 in 6 Operation Iraqi Freedom soldiers meet the criteria for psychiatric distress but the number is expected to climb substantially over time.

Calendar Division of Workers' Compensation Medical Unit My CA This Site Advanced Feature Find a qualified medical examimer Post-traumatic stress disorder Printer-friendly version (Adopted February 24, 1997) I. Introduction: The Industrial Medical Council and supporting advisory committees were established in 1989 as part of workers' compensation reform. The Psychiatric Advisory Committee followed a legislative mandate to revise the disability evaluation protocols for psychiatric injury which were accepted into law by the Office of Administrative Law on December 7, 1993. The legislature also mandated the IMC to develop guidelines for common industrial injuries. Violent encounters and exposure to life threatening events are common occurrences in the workers' compensation system. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the calendar year 1992, 1,004 homicides took place at the work site and 22, 400 attacks occurred in the national workforce. The IMC and the Psychiatric Advisory Committee have thus selected post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as the focus for establishment of treatment guidelines. The California legislature made subsequent changes to the workers' compensation system including a higher threshold of compensability for psychiatric injuries. For injuries that occur after July 17, 1993, an injured worker must prove that the "actual events of employment" were the "predominant cause" (at least 51 percent) among all of the combined causes of the psychiatric injury.

137. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder In The Workers Compensation posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychological condition which Most recent studies on post-traumatic stress disorder treatment focus upon http://www.beachnet.com/~jobrien/Ptsd.htm

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in the Workers' Compensation Setting by James O'Brien, M.D. One of the most common conditions seen in Workers' Compensation stress claims is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychological condition which occurs after an individual experiences an event outside the realm of normal human experience. According to DSM4, the official descriptive manual of mental disorders, such experiences may include serious threat to one's life or physical integrity; serious threat or harm to one's children, spouse, or other close relatives and friends; sudden destruction of one's home or community; seeing another person who has recently been or is being seriously injured or killed as the result of an accident or physical violence. The symptoms following exposure to a catastrophic event may include rumination, exaggerated startle response, difficulty in concentrating, memory impairment, guilt feelings, and sleep difficulties. Today's diagnostic description of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is largely based upon experience and studies of Vietnam veterans. In 1979, the federal government established Operation Outreach to help Vietnam veterans handle readjustment and psychiatric problems. This also allowed clinicians the opportunity to develop models by which to distinguish genuine from malingered PTSD. In contrast to the stereotype of the crazed Ramboesque Vietvet, an individual with true PTSD was likely to feel intense guilt and downplay his experience, while the malingerer often dramatizes his combat record and blames others for his problems. The true PTSD victim is often a stoic often in denial who is quietly suffering. In true PTSD, the victim often downplays symptoms while the malingerer overplays and draws attention to them.

We've seen too much now. To some degree or other, we have surrendered into service and are willing to pay the price of compassion. But with it comes the joy of a single, caring act. With it comes the honor of participating in a generous process in which one rises each day and does what one can. With it comes the simple, singular grace of being an instrument of Love, in whatever form, to whatever end. Ram Dass There is hope, though. PTSD can be effectively treated and individuals can live a normal life. A strong support structure of family, friends, and community who can help the individual come to terms with the event(s) in a psychologically safe environment and also to realize that he or she is not to blame for the traumatic event is important for successful recovery.
