Where does PTSD come from?

Answer 1

PTSD comes from being in traumatic situations, like in combat. it comes from being separated from your loved ones whilst being in combat, or as equally traumatic place and time. it is not somehing to be joked about and if not treated properly can lead to all kinds of downfalls for the person afflicted. it is not something that happens to just "weak willed people" it can and will take down the biggest and toughest..

my personal opinion of how it comes about is by sticking someone in that kind of place after being told your whole life that is against god to kill someone, having to kill or be killed... watching your buddy die in front of you, losing a family member while they were there in combat to a roadside bomb... wondering everynight if you are going to make it home again. lack of sleep and proper food while you are there, people trying to make life harder..

also soldiers are jacked up with all kinds of vaccines, who knows what the hell is in them or how they will react with each individual.. most vaccines contain Mercury and hello that will effect your brain....

i don't know if there is one pinpointed answer for this one.. If you do know someone afflicted with PTSD, my only advice for you is to try to love them even more, as they really need it. they need your support and to know that you are still proud of them.

that would be a good first step to help them handle it.

It is caused from someone experiencing a traumatic event, like serving in a war zone. Also known as shell shock. It can also happen from something like a horrific car accident where there are friends or family killed.

Answer 3

Human beings have always responded to an overwhelming of the 'stimulus barrier,' but there has not always been a term applied to the responses; victims of (PTSD) this overwhelming, lived and died with the intensity and duration of severe symptoms of pain limiting their functioning. Those observing their bizarrness, considered their crazy, subhuman or simply strange, lowfunctioning persons of unknown reasons. More women than men are assumed to have been (PTSD)affected and eventually were referred to as 'hysteria' or histerical women. Likely because women have always been raped and tortured by men more in some areas than others. When men were observed to carry these hysterical symptoms, they came from war zones and were given the name Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Later, women suffering from rapes and torture were also assigned the term PTSD.

Survivors of the Jewish Holocaust (1945) were closely observed by physicians in New York, and given the name for their posttrauma-living-experiences-concentration-camps Survivor Syndrome. Massive Psychic Trauma, 1968, edited by Dr. Henry Krystal carries these documented data. He still lives in Detroit, Michigan; his son is a practicing psychiatrist in Detroit. Survivor Syndrome is the most extreme Post Traumatic Stress Disordered symptoms I believe. SAH
