Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an emotional illness that that is classified as an anxiety disorder and usually develops as a result of a extremely frightening, life-threatening, or highly dangerous experience.
PTSD
PTSD sufferers:
• often relive the traumatic event or events in some way
• usually avoid places, people, or other reminders of the event (avoidance)
• are sensitive to normal life experiences (hyper arousal)
Complex post traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) usually results from prolonged exposure to a traumatic event or multiple traumatic events and is characterized by long-term emotional and social dysfunction.
C-PTSD
PTSD Research shows that people
who have been traumatized sometimes have a smaller hippocampus than people who have not been exposed to trauma. This is significant in understanding the effects of trauma and the impact of PTSD, specifically since the hippocampus is the part of the brain that plays an important role in developing new memories involving life events.
Untreated PTSD can have devastating consequences regarding the sufferer’s relationships, their families, and society.
