National PTSD Awareness Day 2013
 |
The symptomatology include, but are not limited to hypervigilance, recurring and involuntary flashbacks of the trigger, mood swings, and avoidance.
It is said that trained professional intervention is required for adequate evaluation and therapy. Some of us never seek treatment beyond the diagnosis opting for reality therapy and our own faculties of the mind such as willpower to overcome that which we feel as the result of traumatic life experiences.
This is National PTSD Awareness Day — as well as National PTSD Awareness Month as passed by the Senate. It is held under the auspices of the National Center for PTSD.
What was once called "shell shock" is now well known among fighting forces, but the condition is also found in people who have been subjected to trauma off the battlefield ... like having the misfortune of attending Goose Creek High School or other environments rife with the exceptional cruel hostility and that degradation which may surround one in certain environments.
The notion of PTSD therapy has been given exceptional thought and research and what was untreatable is now typically a temporary state for those victims of the many types of injury which may cause it.
I was spotted due to a characteristic called "the clench" and those causes identified and treated. While I still periodically engage "the clench" the pain of PTSD has long left me and now I function with high order thinking skills and creative inclinations which surpass some in this day of woke idiocy. My good friend Sam was the only person to ever figure it out by observing me. He called me on it one day at work and I came clean.
So if you think you suffer fron this broad spectrum disorder you should seek treatment. Proper handling will make the fear and anxiety go away for most.
