PTSD, as such, has been a part of organized psychiatry for only the past twenty years. The concept of PTSD, however, has been well known for over a hundred years under a variety of different names. Certainly, Freud thought that traumatic events in childhood had an effect on an individual's subsequent emotional development. Actually, however, it was his contemporary, Pierre Janet, who wrote most brilliantly and eloquently on traumatic stress. In fact, he was really the first person to describe the full syndrome (group of symptoms) of posttraumatic stress disorder. During World War I, PTSD was called shell shock, and during WW II, it was referred to as combat fatigue. After the Vietnam War, it was often mistakenly called the Post Vietnam Syndrome. Indeed, the understanding and effective treatment of PTSD were actually described in the psychiatric literature well before the Vietnam War. A psychiatrist from Harvard Medical School, Dr. Eric Lindemann at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, was the first to report on the systematic management of PTSD. He did this work after the Coconut Grove fire and tragedy in the 1940's.

Social Anxiety Disorder Children and adolescents may be diagnosed with PTSD if they have survived natural and man made disasters such as floods; violent crimes such as kidnapping, rape or murder of a parent, sniper fire, and school shootings; motor vehicle accidents such as automobile and plane crashes; severe burns; exposure to community violence; war; peer suicide; and sexual and physical abuse. Clinical reports suggest that elementary school-aged children may not experience visual flashbacks or amnesia for aspects of the trauma. However, they do experience "time skew" and "omen formation," which are not typically seen in adults. Time skew refers to a child mis-sequencing trauma related events when recalling the memory. Omen formation is a belief that there were warning signs that predicted the trauma. As a result, children often believe that if they are alert enough, they will recognize warning signs and avoid future traumas.

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Lauren Berman, PhD Today, PTSD is recognized as affecting between 1% and 14% of the population (DSM-IV, 1994). Its symptoms can be severely disabling and can last for many years. The symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder are best understood by viewing them in 3 categories (Herman, J.L., 1992): hyperarousal (the persistent expectation of danger), intrusion (the interference of past trauma into present day existence), and constriction (the shutting down of normal responses in order to block or prevent the intrusion of trauma into the present). Hyperarousal Intrusive experiences are among the most disturbing sequelae of trauma because they make past trauma present in everyday life. It is as if the trauma will not let you forget that it is not yet processed. Traumatic memories appear to be encoded and stored differently from other memories. Often, they are not available in verbal, narrative form. Traumatic memories remain out of context. Instead, they are encoded as vivid sensations or images. One trauma survivor wrote: If the story of the trauma does become available to the trauma survivor, it is often strangely detached from the emotion or missing something essential. The same survivor wrote, "I remember lying there, not really moving, not really sure what to do. Why can’t I ever remember thinking anything If I could only remember being scared, afraid, angry…then maybe it would be OK… It’s like since I can’t remember those feelings, I must have thought it was OK… Now that…is scary!"

Abstract from The Cochrane Library , Issue 1, 2003 Click here to order the full review Pharmacotherapy for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (Cochrane Review) Stein DJ, Zungu-Dirwayi N, van der Linden GJH, Seedat S ABSTRACT A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 20 July 2000. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a prevalent and disabling disorder. By definition prior psychological trauma plays a causal role in the disorder, and psychotherapy is a widely accepted intervention. Nevertheless there is growing evidence that PTSD is characterized by specific psychobiological dysfunctions, and this has contributed to a growing interest in the use of medication in its treatment. Objectives: The authors aimed to undertake a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of the pharmacotherapy of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following the guidelines and using the software of the Cochrane Collaboration, and to provide an estimate of the effects of medication in this disorder. Secondary objectives were to explore questions about whether particular classes of medication are more effective and/or acceptable than others in the treatment of PTSD, and about which factors (clinical and methodological) predict response to pharmacotherapy. Search strategy: Selection criteria: All RCTs of PTSD (including both placebo controlled and comparative trials), whether published or unpublished, but completed prior to the end of 1999 were considered for the review.

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a reaction to intense, traumatic events that threaten or cause death or injury to you or other people. It can be caused by natural disasters, fires, and accidents; but the fear, horror, and helplessness of war is tailor made for the development of PTSD. Some of the symptoms are: • recurring painful thoughts and memories • nightmares and sleep problems • painful feelings when confronted with reminders • feeling alienated from and distrustful of others • difficulty with intimacy and feeling love • irritability or outbursts of anger • painful guilt and grief feelings How Does Therapy Help? "You can't change the past, so how can talking about it help?" True, what happened cannot be changed, but the painful feelings and symptoms of PTSD are happening now, and can be changed. Talking about and reexamining trauma with professionals experienced in the treatment of war stress can lead to resolution of war issues, relief from emotional pain and symptoms, and resumption of a more satisfying lifestyle. Therapy for these issues is much different than just thinking about them. The Program The PTSD Program at the Coatesville VA Medical Center was established in 1982. It is one of the oldest PTSD programs in the country, and we continually seek to improve our effectiveness based on the latest research on PTSD treatment. It is one of the few programs open to veterans of all American wars and combat operations.

Anxiety Disorders Topics [General] Panic Attacks And Panic Disorder Phobic Disorders Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder ... Anxiety Due To A Physical Disorder Or A Substance Posttraumatic Stress Disorder A disorder in which an overwhelming traumatic event is reexperienced, causing intense fear, helplessness, horror, and avoidance of stimuli associated with the trauma. The stressful event involves serious injury or threatened death to the person or others or actual death of others; during the event, the person experiences intense fear, helplessness, or horror. Lifetime prevalence is at least 1%, and in high-risk populations, such as combat veterans or victims of criminal violence, prevalence is reported to be between 3 and 58%. Symptoms and Signs Treatment Treatment consists of behavior therapy, pharmacotherapy, and psychotherapy. Behavior therapy involves exposure to safe situations that the person avoids because they may trigger a reexperience of the trauma. Repeated exposure in fantasy to the traumatic experience itself usually lessens distress after some initial increase in discomfort. Preventing certain ritual behaviors, such as excessive washing to feel clean after a sexual assault, may also help. Antidepressant and anxiolytic drugs appear to have some benefit but are generally less effective than for other anxiety disorders. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (eg, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline) and monoamine oxidase inhibitors appear most effective.
