Posttraumatic stress is a: Correct Answer mental health condition

Post-Traumatic Stress is a psychiatric condition developed as an aftermath of severe trauma often involving violence and demolition.

Key Points

  • According to  American Psychiatric Association (APA), Post-Traumatic Stress(PTS) is an anxiety disorder or mental health condition that results from intense horror, fear, or helplessness in response to very traumatic events, such as military combat, violent personal assaults, severe vehicle accidents, natural disasters, bearing witness to the assault or serious injury of another person, or hearing about serious harm or death of a close relative or friend.
  • The symptoms like persistent re-experiencing of events, avoidance, or emotional numbing remain for more than one month. It causes significant impairment in social, occupational, or in other areas of functioning.
  • Post-traumatic stress is a gradual and ongoing process. Individuals need to be confident and strong to overcome from this disorder otherwise it leads to worsening the situation.

  • Symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder:-

    •  Anger and irritability
    •  Flashbacks
    •  Feelings of intense distress
    •  Depression and hopelessness
    •  Feeling jumpy and easily startled
    •  Rapid breathing nausea and muscle tension
    • Suicidal thoughts
    • Feelings of alienated
    • Chest pain

Thus, it is concluded that Posttraumatic stress is a mental health condition.

Hint

  • Language disorder is a disorder that is found in the development or use of the knowledge of the language. It shows the breakdown in the development of language abilities on the usual developmental schedule. For example:- Aphasia, Autism, Alzheimer’s Disease.
  • Learning disability is defined by the Department of Health as a “significant reduced ability to understand new or complex information, to learn new skills (impaired intelligence), with a reduced ability to cope independently (impaired social functioning), which started before adulthood”.
  • Developmental disorders refer to those conditions that occur early in life and may affect one or more domains of a child’s development (physical, cognitive, social-emotional, and moral)
