Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

PTSD is a psychological disorder that develops in some people that have experienced a scare, shocking, or dangerous event even though it's natural to feel afraid during or after a traumatic situation (National Institute of Mental Health, 2016). Some people with PTSD don't show any symptoms for weeks or months and PTSD is often accompanied by depression, substance abuse, or one or more anxiety disorders. Fear triggers changes in the body that help defend against danger and avoid it know as the “fight-or-flight” response. People with PTSD may feel stressed or frightened even when they are not in danger. Almost everyone will experience different reactions after trauma, but most people recover from initial symptoms naturally. Not everyone with

PTSD, or Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of a life-threatening events such as military combat, natural disasters, terrorist incidents, serious accidents, or physical or sexual assault in adult or childhood. Most survivors of trauma return to normal given a little time. However, some people will have stress reactions that do not go away on their own, or may even get worse over time. These individuals may develop PTSD. People who suffer from PTSD often relive the experience through nightmares and flashbacks, have difficulty sleeping, and feel detached or estranged, and these symptoms can be severe enough and last long enough to significantly impair the person’s daily life.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric sequel to a stressful event or situation of an exceptionally threatening or catastrophic nature. It develops after a person is involved in a horrifying ordeal that involved physical maltreatment or the threat of physical harm. These events can include combat or military experience, abuse during childhood or adulthood (physical or sexual), terrorist attacks, serious accidents or natural disasters. This person may have been the one that was harmed, witnessed a harmful event or had a loved one who was harmed. It is normal for the body’s fight or flight mechanism to engage in times of danger. With a person who has PTSD, that mechanism is damaged and the person feels this even when they are not in danger. Symptoms can be categorized into four different areas – re-experiencing symptoms (flashbacks, bad dreams, frightening thoughts) , avoiding situations that remind the person of the event, negative changes in beliefs and feelings (may be fear, guilt, shame or losing interest in those activities that once were enjoyable) and hypervigilence (always feeling keyed up, trouble concentrating or sleeping). There are also feelings of hopelessness, despair, depression or anxiety, alcohol or substance abuse, physical symptoms or chronic pain and problems with employment and relationships.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD is a mental health condition that is generally classified as an anxiety disorder. It is often caused by a traumatic events or emotional trauma in one’s life that leads to terrifying flashbacks, nightmares and extreme anxiety. The main cause of this disorder is the conscious and subconscious fear-memories that have developed. In essence the ‘fight or flight” response that we all have is severely damaged, even when not in a stressful or dangerous situation those suffering from PTSD may feel stressed and in danger.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a severe anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to any event that results in psychological trauma. This event may involve the threat of death to oneself or to someone else, or to one's own or someone else's physical, sexual, or psychological integrity, overwhelming the individual's ability to cope. As an effect of psychological trauma, PTSD is less frequent and more enduring than the more commonly seen acute stress response. Diagnostic

PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a mental health condition that can occur after a person experiences a traumatic event such as disasters, assault or combat. This is an issue that many Veterans encounter while being involved in military duty. However, there is help available.

PTSD is defined as an "anxiety disorder that can occur after you have been through a traumatic event. A traumatic event is something horrible and scary that you see or happens to you” (United States). In these types of events one can feel that they are not in control of what is going on around them and may feel helpless or in great danger. The Department of Veterans Affairs has listed various life threatening events that can evolve into PTSD. These events include but are not limited to "Combat or Military exposure, child sexual or physical abuse, terrorist attacks, sexual or physical assault, serious accidents, such as a car wreck, natural disasters, such as a fire, tornado, hurricane, flood, or earthquake” (United States).

First of all, what is Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is an anxiety disorder that develops when someone is a witness to or experiences a traumatic event. PTSD has specific symptoms resulting from traumatic life threatening experiences. Symptoms resulting from the event must be present in a certain way over a period of time and for a certain duration. A person who witnesses two or more traumatic events in a short amount of time can cause the brain to release the hormone glucocorticoid which helps control the response to stress. When this hormone is low or depleted and a second traumatic event takes place before the hormone is replenished in the brain, the stress becomes even more intensified thus increasing the person’s chances of developing PTSD. Most people who develop PTSD, get better, but 1 out of 3 people may continue to have some symptoms over their lifetime

PTSD is defined as mental health disorder triggered by a terrifying event (Mayoclinic). This ordeal could be the result of some sort of physical harm or threat to the individual, family members, friends or even strangers. (NIMH) While PTSD is typically associated with someone who has served in the military, it can affect more than just that genre of individuals. It could affect rape victims, victims in a terrorist or natural disaster incident, nurses,

PTSD is a severe form of anxiety that affects a person so deeply that they cannot overcome the memories of the events that caused the distress to live a healthy life. These people are tormented by the circumstances

PTSD stands for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. According to a medical dictionary, PTSD is a “debilitating psychological condition triggered by a major traumatic, such as war, death of a loved one, a natural disaster, or rape”. It is triggered by upsetting memories or thoughts of the incident. For example; Veterans returning home from a war often have PTSD.

Symptoms must present themselves in a certain way within a certain period of time and for a certain duration to be considered PTSD. Another criterion is how much of an impact the condition has on the patient’s everyday life. The cornerstone symptom of PTSD is re-experience of the trauma. This means the person is plagued with unwanted memories of the event that so badly scarred him. These memories can come in the form of nightmares, flashbacks, and recollections. In each of these instances, memories of the event suddenly and unexpectedly flood the sufferer, and he feels like he’s experiencing it all over again. This can be triggered by a cue, or it can come unbidden. The person’s brain releases chemicals as if he is experiencing the trauma, creating a fear response that’s both physical and mental. Re-experience is one of four main symptoms of adults with PTSD. The other are Avoidance (The person will go out of his way to avoid being reminded of the trauma.), Numbness (In response to the pain created by the haunting memories, the person may seek out anything that can keep it away, including alcohol and drugs.), and Hyperarousal (A state of continuous heightened awareness.). The tricky part in diagnosing the disorder is that, after a trauma, most people experience the same symptoms as those of a person with PTSD. The difference is that these symptoms fade on their own over

This includes military combat, natural disasters, terrorist incidents, serious accidents, physical or sexual abuse in adulthood and childhood, or the threat of murder (source and shit). Those who have this disorder suffer from re-experiencing the trauma (including intrusive thoughts of the event, nightmares and flashbacks) emotional arousal (easily irritated, trouble sleeping, and jumpy behavior), emotional numbness, and avoidance of people, places, and activities that remind them of the trauma (ADAA source). For those who develop this disorder, life can become a struggle

Throughout the years, psychologist have been developing treatments for PTSD. Some of the treatments work, but there are some treatments that could possibly make the symptoms worse. PTSD stands for post-traumatic stress disorder, which is something that not only affects war veterans but it also affects business men and women, firefighters, police officers, and normal everyday people. PTSD is a type of anxiety disorder that can occur after someone has gone through an extreme emotional trauma that involved the threat of injury or death. People with this disorder may feel frightened or stressed even when their lives are no longer in danger. One of the many treatments for this disorder is CISD, or critical incident stress debriefing.
