Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
These are the signs that are associated with PTSD:
- Re-experiencing: This is the most common symptom. It often takes the form of flashbacks, nightmares, repetitive and distressing images or sensations, sweating, pain, nausea and trembling.
- Avoidance: Avoiding certain people and places that remind the person of the experience. Many people avoid talking about the trauma – and may distract themselves with work or hobbies. Some people attempt to numb their emotions completely, which can lead to them becoming isolated and withdrawn.
- Hyper-arousal: Leading to angry outbursts, irritability, insomnia and a lack of concentration.
- Other mental health problems: Including depression, anxiety or phobias.
- Self-harming or drug/alcohol misuse.
- Physical symptoms: Headaches, dizziness, chest pains and tummy aches.
