17. PTSD
Post traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD) is an
emotional illness that that is
classified as an anxiety
disorder and usually
develops as a result of a
extremely frightening, life-threatening,
or highly
dangerous experience.

18. PTSD sufferers:
• often relive the traumatic
event or events in some
way
• usually avoid places,
people, or other reminders
of the event (avoidance)
• are sensitive to normal life
experiences (hyper arousal)

19. C-PTSD
Complex post traumatic
stress disorder (C-PTSD)
usually results from
prolonged exposure to a
traumatic event or
multiple traumatic events
and is characterized by
long-term emotional and
social dysfunction.

20. PTSD
 Research shows that people
who have been traumatized
sometimes have a smaller
hippocampus than people
who have not been exposed to
trauma. This is significant in
understanding the effects of
trauma and the impact of PTSD,
specifically since the
hippocampus is the part of the
brain that plays an important
role in developing new
memories involving life events.
 Untreated PTSD
can have
devastating
consequences
regarding the
sufferer’s
relationships, their
families, and
society.

21. Treatment
 Trauma focused
cognitive-behavioral
therapy
Family Therapy
Medication
EMDR (Eye
Movement
Desensitizing and
Reprocessing
