January 27, 2009
(ChattahBox) — Today, the condition known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the underlying biological and psychological causes are poorly understood. At the most basic level, PTSD is the result of a breakdown in the defense system that copes with traumatic and frightening experiences. After such events, most people will suffer what is known as Acute Stress Disorder, which involves symptoms of anxiety and depression. The majority will recover, but a minority go on to develop the chronic mental health problems that characterise PTSD. Sufferers are plagued with recurring nightmares, insomnia and depression, experiencing high anxiety, mood swings and relationship difficulties. Divorces, unemployment, homelessness and violence become common; vivid flashbacks can lead to panic attacks; and veterans often sink into a cycle of alcohol or drug abuse as they attempt to deal with their symptoms. New research from America – triggered by the soaring incidence of PTSD among troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan has found striking differences in the brain patterns of those suffering from combat stress, raising hopes that we will be able to identify and treat sufferers much more effectively.
