Trauma and Mental Health:
Trauma is a result
of battering, witnesses a horrible attacks, enduring an accident/incident,
terrorist, and so on. Anytime a person is subject to violence, it
brings forth trauma, whether it is in small doses or extreme doses.
Posttraumatic Stress Disorders (war shock) was only linked to combat,
but recently mental health experts are finding that more individuals
are subject to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Generally, people that
suffer Multiple Personality Disorder often have Posttraumatic Stress
Disorder underneath. It is often difficult to detect this since people
with Multiple Personality Disorder alters or changes personalities.
Some of the personality types may not illustrate any symptoms of mental
illness, while others may illustrate extreme symptoms.
Most patients with
Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) were subject to extreme abuse
as a child, which means these people suffered severe trauma from the
get-go. Now, the people that do not have Multiple Personality would
have to undergo traumatic experiences, or witness traumatic attacks.
It depends on the mind but some people can witness an accident and
it won’t faze them, while others can witness a similar accident
and it could lead them into PTSD symptoms. This type of mind is often
suffering with other problems, and the problem has not been detected,
while the person that was not affected probably had excellent coping
skills. Most likely, the person affected survived traumas long before
this accident took place. Trauma affects us all differently and some
more than others. When a person endures trauma it is essential to
get help immediately, since trauma often plays with the mind.
A person will often
endure sleepless nights, nightmares, anxiety and panic attacks and
so forth. The issues bring forth more complications since the nerves
are tortured and the person might resort to alcohol or drugs to relieve
the symptoms. Flashbacks are common with trauma patients, and flashbacks
can be dangerous since the person looses contact with the here and
now. Rather the patient will go back in time to the event or one of
the series of events that caused the trauma and they often stay stuck
there for a few minutes or longer. If someone is around them and that
person does not have understanding other complications can occur.
Patients with Posttraumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD) are often treated
with various medications, including Trazadone. Trazadone is often
great for relieving stress, reducing night sweats, and nightmares,
as well as other symptoms of posttraumatic stress. Another great solution
for trauma patients is to take Natural Herbs, including Mental Alert
remedies, Multiple Vitamins, especially saturated with B-Complex,
and so on.
The natural herbs are
great, and if you are seated on a healthy diet this too is helpful
to reduce posttraumatic stress symptoms. The more you take care of
you, the more your symptoms will run the other way. Posttraumatic
Stress Disorder is nothing to play around with, since the symptoms
are ‘combat.’ In other words, when you endure an attack,
the person often feels like he or she is on a battlefield and everyone
around them is the enemy. The symptoms leave no room for concentration,
understanding, and even affect the person’s ability to hear
what is said to him or her. Posttraumatic Stress Disorder starts out
with smaller symptoms and gradually works up to deeper symptoms if
not treated. The sleepless nights alone leave the patient open for
triggers. Triggers are sound, smell, voices, taste, and so forth.
There are many elements
in society that can trigger an episode of Posttraumatic Stress. It
is also important to minimize your entertainment habits. If possible,
avoid movies that will startle, fright, or trigger your symptoms.
Movies that are animated or comedies are great sources of entertainment
that will spare you a posttraumatic stress attack. You want to remember
that when the nervous system is affected then so is the body and mind.
In other words, the more attacks you have from posttraumatic stress
put your heart and body at risk of physical illnesses. Finally, it
is important to seek help, take care of yourself, and avoid any element
in society that will trigger your symptoms, including people if necessary.
Isolation in one form is not as bad as suffering posttraumatic stress
symptoms. Postpartum Depression is another issue many suffer, however
women are the target of this diagnose.
