Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is more common among
veterans who have just returned from the war due to the stress
and trauma they have experienced during the military operation.
Trauma survivors may have symptoms such as flashbacks,
anxiety, hypervigilance, avoidance of situations that trigger
memories, and enhanced unpleasant feelings and thoughts
about the trauma they’ve been through.
PTSD in Military Personnel
A person may experience this kind of stress as a result of
combat, a life-threatening incident, or another traumatic event. It
is indeed a trauma, little wonder it is called post-traumatic stress
disorder.
When presented with a threatening scenario, the body’s first
reaction is mobilization. Preparedness for combat or flight
activates the “fight or flight” response. There are several signs of
stress, including an elevated heart rate, rapid breathing, dilated
pupils, and an increase in muscle tension.

2. The relaxation response aids in returning the body to a state of
equilibrium after a stressful event. Because of their state of
hypervigilance and awareness, people with PTSD are unable to
relax. An extensive range of PTSD symptoms may result.
What Causes PTSD?
Military personnel operating in a combat zone are likely to
encounter a broad variety of stressful or traumatic events.
However, not everyone has symptoms of PTSD.
Post-traumatic stress disorder is linked to an increased risk of
several factors.
Veterans born before 1980 are more likely to suffer from post-
traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), according to studies. There is
a considerable association between the intensity of battle
exposure and the durability of the disease.
If you have any other forms of mental or physical health
concerns, it could easily graduate to PTSD, especially with
continuous exposure to combat. Comorbid disorders such as
depression and physical symptoms are related to an increased
incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
People who suffer from sleep disorders are more prone to suffer
from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). There is a
bidirectional relationship between sleep disorders and other
mental health conditions, including PTSD.
The severity of symptoms may be impacted by the absence of
social support. In addition to being able to convey their
concerns, persons who have strong social links are more likely
to stick to a treatment plan and better cope with their annoying
symptoms.
Some persons are more susceptible to developing post-
traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after experiencing a traumatic
event than others are. A person’s sensitivity to post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) following a stressful occurrence could be
enhanced by a range of additional situations.
Mental health is influenced by a person’s genetics, social
support, neurological variables, and past experiences.
PTSD Symptoms and Triggers
Symptoms of Post-traumatic stress disorder among veterans
include:
Images bringing back fond recollections of the ugly event. There
are several methods in which returning service people might
revisit their experiences. They may have flashbacks,
nightmares, or responses to particular triggers, such as scents,
news broadcasts, or loud sounds that lead them to relive the
traumatic experience. Flashbacks, for example, may elicit strong
emotional responses from veterans.
Avoiding situations that evoke negative emotions. Veterans may
want to stay away from anything or anybody who brings up the
event in their thoughts. It may be beneficial to avoid
circumstances that induce anxiety, such as huge crowds, driving
alone or viewing media that has allusions to the incident that
happened, in order to keep their mind off of the trauma. All other
alternatives are to avoid treatment or deny that they have a
problem.

The feeling of being let down by oneself or others. Newly
returning combatants may seem to have transformed. Those
who know them well may notice that they have become more
withdrawn and avoid intimate relationships. They should keep
the memory of the trauma as far away from their conscious
consciousness as they can. If veterans are more fearful of the
world, they may be less trusting and reliant on others as a
consequence.
PTSD Treatment
Counseling and medication may be used to successfully treat
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A therapist or counselor
can assist veterans in gaining a better understanding of their
thoughts and emotions, as well as give them strategies for
dealing with stressful situations. Studies have shown that a
variety of counseling techniques may be quite beneficial in the
treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. Medications may
help relieve tension and irritability. For PTSD, the most often
recommended medications are “selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors,” but doctors may work with veterans to identify which
prescription is most effective for them.
Treatments like cognitive processing, eye movement
desensitization and reprocessing, and cognitive behavioral
therapy are also effective for helping PTSD victims.
