What is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)?

Post-traumatic stress disorder is best described as a psychological or physical trauma experienced by an individual, which causes him or her to re-experience the event and the feelings associated with it over and over again. Post-traumatic stress disorder is frequently seen in veterans of war, as well of those involved in a life threatening crime, act of violence, sexual abuse or rape.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms:

People suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder will avoid situations that remind them of the traumatic event. This avoidance affects their social lives and interpersonal relationships. These individuals tend to avoid connections with people in an attempt to control their feelings or environment. The usual feelings associated with post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms are grief, anger, fear, guilt or sadness.

Self-Medicating for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms Can Be Dangerous

Many people, prior to treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, may suffer from post traumatic stress disorder symptoms such as depression and have difficulty managing their behavior. In an attempt to self medicate, these people may turn to drugs or alcohol. After an extended period of time of self-medicating for post-traumatic stress disorder, the person suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms may become addicted. A person who becomes addicted to drugs or alcohol and has post-traumatic stress disorder is referred to as having a dual diagnosis.
