Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

These things don't usually exist on their own.

PTSD symptoms are often found in combination with other conditions. So it is quite common to find someone with PTSD who also has Bipolar or even a personality disorder.

Bipolar disorder can be either manic or depressive and medication is often the first choice to treat it. Specific meds are used to control the mood swing element and mood stabilizers are usually used to help the depression. Prozac (fluoxetine) is often prescribed for the more impulsive and depressive symptoms but there are a range of drugs used for bipolar disorder, anti psychotics and mood stabilizers such as Lamotrigine.

Hi,

The amygdala is the part of the brain that processes fear, threats and anxiety. The amygdala is involved in the assessment of threat-related stimuli and is necessary for the process of fear conditioning.

It has been found via PET/neuroimaging studies that the amygdala is hyperresponsive in PTSD .

Also when people are presented with personalized traumatic stories,combat sounds, combat photographs and trauma-related words the amygdala also shows signs of being hyperresponsive.

The amygdala is involved in the assessment of threat-related stimuli and/or biologically relevant ambiguity and is necessary for the process of fear conditioning.

In PTSD neuroimaging studies suggest that the changes that occur lead to a shift from a brain where:-

- the stress, reward, and self-reflection systems operate in learning mode. This allows people to investigate and enjoy the world around them. This allows them to obtain and remember knowledge that enhances their life

-to a brain operating in survival mode. This means that one becomes defensive and prone to negative emotional, cognitive, and behavioral reactions.

I hope this helps.

Acute senses apply mainly to the heightened perception and receptivity of the five senses + , sometimes can manifest as Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. A person who is acute in senses at strongest point also may experience extra sensory perception phenomenom. The senses are hyperactive resulting from arguable causes. One is the effects of chronic stress, and post traumatic stress which can create a loop of fight/flight survival response relating to many different scenarios and thus the human has senses of an animal in the wild relying on what most humans do not need to survive. Unfortunately for the most part it is intolerable for a human to develop acute senses as their systems are not used to it and the smell of solvents or even the chemicals found in perfumes and laundry products can trigger off a whole myriad of physical and neurological symptoms earning todays becoming popular label of MCS - Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. Lights can appear to bright and other visuals intolerable, certain foods are intolerable too depending on the individual response and gluten is usually a culprit found in the digestive and immune response. Pain too can be present physically as the brains pain receptors are also in hyper arousal. The sensitivity applies throughout the system and the human brain is very complex and not fully understood just as extra sensory perception isn't.

Leaders should govern by delegating tasks to others. They then manage the results for the benefit of the governed. Leaders lead best when they remain in the background.

Originally PTS surfaced from the Vietnam War...then it got politically tangled up with automobile accidents, heart attack victims, earth quake victims, 9/11 victims, fist fights, riots, airplane crashes, WWII veterans, and people just having a bad day at work all of sudden were suffering from Post Traumatic Stress disorder, bottom line: it's being abused. The original roots of PTS was from men being drafted against their will; fighting a war in Vietnam against their will; returning home and fighting their own families and friends against their will; being fired or not hired because they were Vietnam Veterans...this COMBINED with the war experience itself created "stress". Since it occurred after their return from Vietnam it was labeled "post". Since war was traumatic, it was labeled "Traumatic". Possibly (since most war vets from the Civil War and World Wars have passed on, and no one knows for sure)...possibly this is why "many" Vietnam "combat" veterans just want to live in the mountains or some place away from society and be left alone.

Only a qualified doctor or therapist can diagnose a condition like PTSD.

You would need to speak with a mental health professional who specializes in such issues. Anyone can speculate and make up stuff for you, telling you what you want to hear, but if you want to do it right and accurately, you need a professional.

The way to the answers you seek is kind of trecherous. If you are a military type person the doctors that examine you in the military and/or VA facility must hear specific key phrases, as if they are using a flow chart to determine if you are actually suffer from PTSD. It's not their fault; it's just the system. Also if one doctor tells you you're not affected another might say that you are, so get a second opinion or three. THIS IS IMPORTANT ! Google the word and research different support groups so that you can better explain what you are experiencing to the doctors.

Be well.

The government will not pay as long as the issue is not forced. You have to be the squeaky wheel that makes the noise and not go away because you are told no at first or the second or third time. Makes some noise, write some letters and most of all don't give up and just go away.

Let the Soldier know that going for treatment does not mean he is weak.

It shouldn't be a problem, the best thing to do is see a healthcare professional who will be able to refer you to appropriate help.

A request should be made from the commanding officer for the soldier that is suspected of having PTSD to obtain a mental health evaluation from a psychiatrist. Once the evaluation is complete, depending on level of disability the soldier can return to the field.

You don't deploy in the IRR - you may be called to active duty, assigned to a unit, then deployed, or recalled into a Reserve unit to serve part time - but never deployed directly from the IRR.

You're venturing into complicated territory here, but ultimately, it will be the determination of a review board as to whether or not the service member is fit to return to active duty. If they have filed for PTSD, and are in the process of receiving treatment, then their chances of not being recalled are greater than if they didn't.

By identifying and listing the problems within that project and suggestion the solutions.

While the activation aspects of PTSD (rage, anger, irritability, somatic re-activations) have alot to do with a hyperarousal of the sympathetic nervous system that runs through the right side of the brain, PTSD from a brainwave side of things has more to do with disharmony and imbalance between the left and right hemispheres, and front and back. That is, non-PTSD folks have an integration of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems where one is not dominant over the other.

my aunt has it ptsd is when you are doing something that reminds you of something else you like and you get sad that is what ptsd is
