It is necessary to receive a PTSD diagnosis, the individual had to have experienced or been exposed to a traumatic event, exposure could be indirect so the individual could have heard about a death of a family member or friend and be impacted. PTSD can also develop by being exposed to the specifics of the trauma such as police officers being subjected to horrific events repeatedly. If you or a loved one has PTSD get the Best PTSD Treatment.

Symptoms of PTSD Diagnosis

Following are the symptoms due to which Best PTSD Treatment becomes necessary:
1. Intrusion: unwanted thoughts, images, impulses, or urges that can occur spontaneously or that can be cued by external/internal stimuli. Typically, these thoughts are distressing (hence “intrusive”) and tend to recur. Nightmares, experiencing flashbacks of the traumatic event. This can make people feel as though they are re-experiencing the trauma again and again.

2. Evasion: Evasion of things that trigger the traumatic experience such as, but not limited to situations, people, locations, activities, and certain items that played a role in the traumatic event. Individuals often try to forget or avoid remembering the events. They may internalize their emotions as a way to avoid their emotions and will not want to talk about what happened.

3. Modification in mood and cognition: many people cannot remember details of the traumatic event, some may have negative thoughts and emotions that lead to twisted thinking and distorted beliefs about self or others (“I am not likable,” “people are all bad”); distorted thought process about ramifications or cause of the traumatic event leading to inaccurately placing blame on others or self, some experience ongoing fear, anger, shame or guilt and do not enjoy activities they once liked, feeling disconnected or distant from others, or unable to feel happiness or experience positive feeling and/or emotions.

4. Adaptation in reactivity and arousal: this may cause symptoms of irritability, angry outbursts, negligence, or becoming self destructive, hypervigilance-being watchful over one's environment, feeling unsafe; heightened startle response, lack of concentration and problems falling or staying asleep.

For a person to be diagnosed with PTSD, the symptoms listed above must have lasted for longer than a month and must cause impairment in daily functioning. Multiple individuals notice symptoms within three months of the traumatic event, but symptoms may happen later on and will persist for months and/or even years later. PTSD can be linked to other mental health disorders such as depression, memory issues, substance use, and other mental or physical health problems, making PTSD Treatment necessary for improvement.

Adjustment Disorder

Our therapists at Inspirational Therapies PTSD Treatment suggest that adjustment disorder can occur in response to a traumatic or stressful life event. The emotional or behavioral symptoms an individual may experience after responding to a stressor are more rigorous or more intensive than what may be expected.

Symptoms can include sadness, feelings of hopelessness, isolation, acting rebellious or impulsively, or developing physiological tremors, heart palpitations and headaches. Symptoms can include impairment in daily functioning such as school, social interaction and/or work. Adjustment disorder can start to appear within 90 days after the traumatic event occured and last no longer than six months after the stressor or implications have ended.

A stressor can be defined as a single event, such as a relationship break up, or there could be complex events with an accruable effect. The stressors may be continual or non stop. Stressors can have a negative impact on more than one person, an entire family and even a large group of people such as a community can be affected.

Research shows that 5% to 20% of people in mental health treatment receive a diagnosis of adjustment disorder. A study showed that more than 15% of adults with cancer had adjustment disorder. This mental health issue can be treated with psychotherapy.

Treatment

It is crucial to know that not every person that experiences a traumatic event in their life will develop PTSD, and not every person is required to receive psychiatric treatment. Some people that experience PTSD symptoms will find that the symptoms may dissipate over time. Many will more than likely need the support of their families, friends, and any other person they look to for help. Many people that are diagnosed with PTSD will need therapy and treatment to recover from the psychological distress that can lead to impairment in functioning in everyday life. Just remember, that PTSD is very treatable. Please receive the Best PTSD Treatment as soon as possible, in order to heighten the recovery process.

It helps with changing the negative belief system people have after experiencing trauma (such as “everyone is bad”). The therapist will help the client to approach such disturbing emotions and memories.
