Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is marked by increased stress and anxiety following exposure to a traumatic event like combat, assault, or a natural disaster. Symptoms include reliving the event through flashbacks or nightmares and trying to avoid reminders of the trauma. While anyone can develop PTSD, it is most common in young adults and tends to last longer without treatment. Common treatments include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), psychotherapy like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and encouraging patients to discuss the traumatic experience at their own pace.
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is caused by exposure to traumatic events that cause intense fear, horror, or helplessness. Symptoms include re-experiencing the event, avoidance of trauma reminders, and hyperarousal. To be diagnosed, symptoms must last over a month and impair functioning. Common causes include war, assault, accidents, and natural disasters. Treatment involves psychotherapy such as exposure therapy and medication like SSRIs. PTSD significantly impacts individuals and society.
A disorder characterised by failure to recover after experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event.
The condition may last months or years, with triggers that can bring back memories of the trauma accompanied by intense emotional and physical reactions.
Symptoms may include nightmares or flashbacks, avoidance of situations that bring back the trauma, heightened reactivity to stimuli, anxiety or depressed mood.
Treatment includes different types of psychotherapy as well as medications to manage symptoms.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) arises as a delayed response to an exceptionally stressful event like war, disaster, or assault. Symptoms include re-experiencing the event through flashbacks or nightmares, avoidance of reminders, and increased anxiety and arousal. Risk factors include previous trauma, lack of social support, and genetics. Diagnosis involves assessing symptoms of re-experiencing, avoidance, changes in mood and arousal. Treatment options include antidepressants, anti-anxiety medication, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which exposes patients to traumatic memories and teaches coping skills.
This document discusses differentiating between stress, acute stress disorder, crisis, trauma, and PTSD. It provides definitions and examples of each. Stress is defined as any stimulus that causes an observable individual reaction, and can have positive or negative outcomes. Acute stress disorder involves symptoms within 1 month of a traumatic event. Crisis refers to an acute disruption when usual coping mechanisms fail. Trauma is a physical or emotional wound caused by violence or accident. PTSD is a mental disorder that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, and involves re-experiencing, avoidance, and hyperarousal symptoms for over a month. Treatment goals involve differentiating the severity of events from individual perceptions and coping abilities. The ACT and Roberts
This document provides an overview of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including its history, diagnostic criteria, prevalence in children and adults, common symptoms, and treatment approaches. Key events in the recognition of PTSD include railway accidents in the 19th century, Freud's work with traumatized women, and combat veterans experiencing shell shock. The diagnostic criteria for PTSD were established in the DSM-III in 1980. Common treatments include cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, and medication.
The document discusses anxiety disorders and specific phobia. It defines anxiety as a feeling of apprehension about future danger and fear as an alarm reaction to immediate danger. Specific phobia involves an irrational yet persistent fear of a specific object or situation. The criteria for specific phobia in DSM-5 is outlined, including marked fear or anxiety of the phobic stimulus that is actively avoided. Common subtypes of specific phobias are described such as animals, natural environment, blood-injection-injury, and situational phobias. Prevalence of blood-injection-injury phobia is also noted.

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Background of PTSD
Psychic trauma is the result of experiencing an acute overwhelming threat in which disequilibrium occurs.
Most people are extremely resilient and will quickly return to a state of mental and physical homeostasis.
Acute stress disorder is when symptoms continue for a period of 2 days to 1 month and have an onset within 1 month of the traumatic event.
Background Cont.
If acute stress disorder symptoms develop, they will typically diminish in 1 to 3 months.
Delayed PTSD is when symptoms disappear for a period of time and then reemerge in a variety of symptomatic forms months or years after the event.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that can occur after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic or life-threatening event. PTSD is characterized by symptoms of re-experiencing the event, avoidance of trauma-related stimuli, negative alterations in cognitions and mood, and increased arousal. The document discusses risk factors for PTSD including a history of trauma, mental illness, death of a loved one, feelings of horror or helplessness during the event, and lack of social support. Factors of resilience that can reduce PTSD risk include seeking support, positive coping strategies, feeling capable during the traumatic incident, and ability to respond effectively to fear.
This document discusses the treatment of a veteran with PTSD using exposure therapy delivered via telehealth. It provides background on PTSD and exposure therapy. The veteran was diagnosed with PTSD and alcohol dependence related to his combat experiences in Iraq. He underwent 11 weekly sessions of exposure therapy targeting traumatic memories and avoided situations. Exposure techniques included imaginal, in vivo, and interoceptive exposure. The veteran showed reductions in PTSD and alcohol use symptoms over the course of treatment.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is prevalent among military veterans who have witnessed severe stressors like combat. About 30% of veterans who served in war zones experience PTSD, with rates as high as 31% among Vietnam veterans and 20% among Iraqi war veterans. People with PTSD often struggle with anger, emotional problems, suicidal thoughts, and feeling disconnected from life and others. PTSD symptoms can interfere with daily life and work, making it difficult to concentrate, sleep, and maintain organization and attendance. Untreated PTSD also contributes to higher unemployment among veterans compared to those without the disorder.

Adjustment disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder can develop after experiencing stressful life events. Adjustment disorder involves distressing symptoms that occur within 3 months of a stressor like unemployment, divorce or bereavement. Symptoms include difficulty functioning and concentrating. Post-traumatic stress disorder can develop after traumatic events like accidents, disasters or assault. It is characterized by vivid memories of the event and disturbance in sleep and behavior. Risk factors include previous trauma, lack of support, and membership in minority groups. Without treatment, long-term problems with socializing, substance abuse, depression and anxiety can occur.
Failed suicide attempts can cause post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the same way as other traumatic events. The document discusses how suicide attempts meet the DSM-5 criteria for a traumatic stressor that can lead to PTSD since they involve threatened or actual death. Symptoms of PTSD include re-experiencing the traumatic event through flashbacks and nightmares, emotional numbing, and increased anxiety and arousal. Different types of PTSD are discussed, including those resulting from a single traumatic adult event or multiple events like disasters.
PTSD is an anxiety disorder that develops after exposure to a traumatic or dangerous event. Symptoms include re-experiencing the trauma through flashbacks or nightmares, avoidance of trauma-related stimuli, increased arousal and negative mood, and can start within 3 months of the event and last for longer than a month. Effective treatments include cognitive behavioral therapy such as exposure therapy and cognitive restructuring, as well as antidepressant medication.
Stress can negatively impact mental health in several ways. Hans Selye identified the general adaptation syndrome with three stages of response to stressors: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. Prolonged or severe stress can precipitate mental disorders like depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and schizophrenia by disrupting the body's stress response systems. Stress may also worsen existing mental health conditions or physical health problems like heart disease, infections, and cancer. While the links between stress and mental illness are complex, reducing stress through lifestyle changes or treatment is important for maintaining good mental health.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.

involved in a natural disaster, being diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, or
experiencing systematic physical or sexual abuse. The person reacts to the experience
with fear and helplessness, persistently relives the event, and tries to avoid being
reminded of it. The event may be relived in dreams and waking thoughts (flashbacks).
3. Although PTSD can appear at any age, it
is most prevalent in young adults, because
they tend to be more exposed to
precipitating situations. Children can also
have the disorder. Men and women differ
in the types of traumas to which they are
exposed. Historically, men's trauma was
usually combat experience, and women's
trauma was most commonly assault or
rape. The disorder is most likely to occur
in those who are single, divorced,
widowed, socially withdrawn, or of low
socioeconomic level, but anyone can be
effected, no one is immune. The most
important risk factors, however, for this
disorder are the severity, duration, and
proximity of a person's exposure to the
actual trauma.
4. Comorbidity rates are high among patients with PTSD, with about two thirds having
at least two other disorders. Common comorbid conditions include depressive
disorders, substance-related disorders, anxiety disorders, and bipolar disorders.
Comorbid disorders make persons more vulnerable to develop PTSD.
5. • A stressor is the prime causative factor in the development of PTSD. Not everyone
experiences the disorder after a traumatic event, however. The stressor alone does not
suffice to cause the disorder. The response to the traumatic event must involve
intense fear or horror.
• Clinicians must also consider individual's preexisting biological and psychosocial
factors and events that happened before and after the trauma. For example, a
member of a group who lived through a disaster can sometimes better deal with
trauma because others have also shared the experience. The stressor's subjective
meaning to a person is also important. For example, survivors of a catastrophe may
experience guilt feelings (survivor guilt) that can predispose to, or exacerbate, PTSD.
6. PSYCHODYNAMIC FACTORS
• The psychoanalytic model of the PTSD hypothesizes that the trauma has
reactivated a previously quiescent, yet unresolved psychological conflict. The revival
of the childhood trauma results in regression and the use of the defense mechanisms
of repression, denial, reaction formation, and undoing
7. COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL FACTORS
• cognitive model of PTSD posits that affected persons cannot process or rationalize
the trauma that precipitated the disorder. They continue to experience the stress
and attempt to avoid experiencing it by avoidance techniques.
• The behavioral model of PTSD emphasizes two phases in its development. First, the
trauma (the unconditioned stimulus) that produces a fear response is paired,
through classic conditioning, with a conditioned stimulus (physical or mental
reminders of the trauma, such as sights, smells, or sounds). Second, through
instrumental learning, the conditioned stimuli elicit the fear response independent
of the original unconditioned stimulus, and persons develop a pattern of avoiding
both the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus
8. BIOLOGICAL FACTORS
• The biological theories of PTSD
have developed both from
preclinical studies of animal
models of stress and from
measures of biological variables
in clinical populations with the
disorder. Some researchers have
suggested a similarity between
PTSD and two other psychiatric
disorders: major depressive
disorder and panic disorder.
9. CLINICAL FEATURES
• Individuals with PTSD show symptoms in three domains: intrusion symptoms
following the trauma, avoiding stimuli associated with the trauma, and experiencing
symptoms of increased automatic arousal, such as an enhanced startle. Flashbacks,
in which the individual may act and feel as if the trauma were reoccurring,
represent a classic intrusion symptom. Other intrusion symptoms include
distressing recollections or dreams and either physiological or psychological stress
reactions to exposure to stimuli that are linked to the trauma. An individual must
exhibit at least one intrusion symptom to meet the criteria for PTSD.
10. CASE STUDY
• A 40-year-old man watched the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the World Trade
Center on television. Immediately thereafter he developed feelings of panic associated
with thoughts that he was going to die. The panic disappeared within a few hours;
however, for the next few nights he had nightmares with obsessive thoughts about dying.
He sought consultation and reported to the psychiatrist that his wife had been killed in a
plane crash 20 years earlier On further exploration in brief psychotherapy, he realized
that his reactions to his wife's death were muted and that his relationship with her was
ambivalent. At the time of her death, he was contemplating divorce and frequently had
wished her dead. He had never fully worked through the mourning process for his wife,
and his catastrophic reaction to the terrorist attack was related, in part, to those
suppressed feelings. He was able to recognize his feelings of guilt related to his wife and
his need for punishment manifested by thinking he was going to die
11. GLOBAL EVENTS THAT HAVE INFLUENCED
PSTD
9/1 1 /01
On September 1 1, 2001, terrorist activity destroyed the World Trade Center in New
York City and damaged the Pentagon in Washington (Fig. 1 1.1-1 ). It resulted in more
than 3,500 deaths and injuries and left many citizens in need of therapeutic
intervention. One survey found a prevalence rate of 1 1.4 percent for PTSD and 9. 7
percent for depression in US citizens 1 month after 9/1 1. It is estimated that more
than 25,000 people suffer symptoms of PTSD related to the 9/1 1 attacks beyond the 1-
year mark.
12. WARS
E.G Iraq and Afghanistan
In October 2001, the United States, along with Australia, Canada, and the United
Kingdom, began the invasion of Afghanistan. Both wars caused an estimated 17 percent
of returning soldiers to develop PTSD. The rate of PTSD is higher in women soldiers
Natural Disasters
E.G Earthquake, Hurricane, Tsunami
PTSD developed among those who experienced these disasters, the full extent of which
remains to be determined.
Torture
The intentional physical and psychological torture of one human by another can have
emotionally damaging effects comparable to, and possibly worse than, those seen with
combat and other types of trauma.
13.
14. COURSE AND PROGNOSIS
PTSD usually develops some time after the trauma. The delay can be as short as 1
week or as long as 30 years. Symptoms can fluctuate over time and may be most
intense during periods of stress. Untreated, about 30 percent of patients recover
completely, 40 percent continue to have mild symptoms, 20 percent continue to have
moderate symptoms, and 10 percent remain unchanged or become worse. After 1 year,
about 50 percent of patients will recover.
15. TREATMENT
• When a clinician is faced with a patient who has experienced a significant trauma,
the major approaches are support, encouragement to discuss the event, and
education about a variety of coping mechanisms (e.g., relaxation). In encouraging
persons to talk about the event it is imperative that the clinician allow the person to
proceed at his or her own pace.
16. PHARMACOTHERAPY
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
(SSRis ), such as sertraline (Zoloft) and
paroxetine (Paxil), are considered first-
line treatments for PTSD, owing to their
efficacy, tolerability, and safety ratings.
SSRis reduce symptoms from all PTSD
symptom clusters and are effective in
improving symptoms unique to PTSD,
not just symptoms similar to those of
depression or other anxiety disorders.
Buspirone (BuSpar) is serotonergic and
may also be of use.
17. PSYCHOTHERAPY
• Psychodynamic psychotherapy may be useful in
the treatment of many patients with PTSD. In
some cases, reconstruction of the traumatic
events with associated abreaction and catharsis
may be therapeutic, but psychotherapy must be
individualized because re-experiencing the
trauma overwhelms some patients.
Psychotherapeutic interventions for PTSD
include behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, and
hypnosis.
