A post-traumatic stress disorder, the result may not be processed experiences of violence. Armed conflicts always bring a high level of violence. Physically and mentally. ascribe any returning soldiers but a coping disorder to want is unrealistic and counterproductive.
As a German translation of the English technical term Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the term Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has naturalized. This term is not always sufficiently differentiated and contains word semantic misunderstandings. More appropriate designation would be the Post Traumatic Stress processing disorder. Or better yet, a processing disorder post-traumatic stress.
Post Traumatic Stress due to a stressful life event that sometimes several months or even years ago. Therefore, "post-traumatic. This post-traumatic stress is neither unusual nor disease. Rather, it is a normal reaction of the body to process an experience of violence whatsoever. Only when the self-healing powers of the human body is no longer sufficient to stress the Lord will happen is a "disorder", a processing disorder can lead to serious health problems and cope is recognized as a disease.
But not every experience of violence leads to trauma. And not every trauma inevitably leads to a stress management disorder.
The causes: perceptions decoupling
A broad consensus exists on the psychological trauma on the causes for the emergence of stress processing disorders. Accordingly, experience of violence in the body but also emotional meaning in connection with a demolition exercise to a trauma. A demolition exercise always occurs when fears are so great that the conscious experience a situation impossible and often culminate not in fear of death. It does not matter whether the event time or run-off over time. A perception decoupling will take place at the height of stress experience and flows mostly in shock. The research agrees that a perception of isolation is bound to a trauma. Less clearly defined is, however, occurred in the extent of force must have to cause trauma.
The effects
The medicine differs in three Traumatisierungsgrade:
The simple post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic complex and the third degree, the dissociative identity disorder. In 1940, Charles Myers, described the first time how the split personality of soldiers in the First World War by the Kriegstraumatisierungen in an "apparently normal personality (ANP) and an" emotional personality "(EP). This split personality is a criterion to define the severity of traumatic stress disorder and to organize a promising therapy.
Simple Post-traumatic stress disorder
The degree of complexity I, the simple PTSD, consists of an ANP and EP. "Simple" in this case, the trauma giving rise to the processing problem has occurred only once in time and within strict limits. This severity can be attributed to a very good chance of recovery.
chronic complex stress disorder
If there are multiple traumas is that last longer and / or of brutal nature, may be the personality of the victim's split into an "apparently normal personality" ANP, which the everyday rules and must more "emotional personalities" EP's. Thus, for example, contain an EP most of the fear and pain from the traumatic experience, another EP the anger of the offender and another part of other a depersonalized observer position.
Dissociative Identity Disorder
The third severity describes a structural dissociation, which occurs when it is necessary for the victim because of longstanding and severe traumatic experience was more suitable for everyday use figures (ANP) to develop and more emotional personality (EP). In this case, a dissociative identity disorder. The two main symptom clusters of PTSD are reliving the trauma, and permanent avoidance of stimuli that have to do with the trauma.
Symptoms
was recognized that ignorance of the entire clinical picture regularly can be a source of traumatization for victims or even acts as a multiplier. Modern trauma therapy is now well structured and follows a consistent and verifiable treatment model.
symptoms of PTSD include:
- depression, anxiety, panic disorders
- Psychotic derailments
- Chronic psychosomatic pain disorders
- Severe physical symptoms such as inflammation in the body
- self-injury
- impulse control disorders
- foreign aggression and self-aggression
- Abnormal
sexuality - but also on alertness and seismographic ability to anticipate situations
especially in popular scientific papers is often suggested, each of these features have unique character and ill every person who had one or more symptoms has on stress management disorder. What is basically wrong. All the listed symptoms may occur singly or in combination, as well as in healthy, non-traumatized people. Even the temporary loss of concentration, change in focus of attention or other states of consciousness such as daydreaming, imagination, altered sense of time and trance-like behavior per se are no signs of PTSD and dissociation. Concentration and sleep disturbances and nightmares can also be symptoms of self-healing powers of the body that tries to process a stressful life event.
A question also on the current research can be answered adequately is the fact, why one and the same event can cause a number of persons with varying degrees of trauma. An attack on a convoy for example, who should be noticed by all parties with the same intensity causes a stress on the one person processing disorder that leads to disability and even as far as possible a normal life impossible. In another person it solves only a simple post-traumatic stress disorder from. A third person has not unlimited post-traumatic stress, but remains spared from disease symptoms.
The research suggested that different degrees of Vortraumatisierung varying degrees of stress management disorder. A Vortraumatisierung can be achieved either on purpose or it occurs arbitrarily by certain circumstances in some cases by the parties concerned, unobserved.
