Trauma-Associated Disorders

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

It is seen as a primary and broad disorder because it has a positive effect on understanding and applying trauma. PTSD is seen at the beginning of the situations that more clearly express the stress and related disorders or problems of people who have experienced trauma. For someone to be diagnosed with PTSD, they must have experienced a traumatic event. One of the symptoms of PTSD is re-experiencing the traumatic situation. It is the situations in which the person recalls the traumatic event in a disturbing way, dreams about the event, experiences flashbacks by feeling as if he is living the event again, and shows negative physiological reactions by encountering stimuli that remind the trauma. A second symptom is the avoidance of stimuli that create traumatic recollections and a decrease in the level of general responsiveness. If the person makes an intense effort to get away from the thoughts that remind the traumatic event, it causes situations such as distress and helplessness in the person, which makes it difficult for the person to explain the trauma. The person avoids places, situations and people that remind them of the traumatic event. A person's feelings of numbness and a decrease in his ability to sense emotions are observed. There is also a decrease in indifference or participation in activities and hobbies that were previously of interest. At the same time, there is a feeling of alienation and alienation from the people around them. A third symptom is the appearance of arousal symptoms after the traumatic event. In this symptom, a general arousal state created by stimuli related to the traumatic event in the body and brain is seen. This causes problems such as difficulty in sleeping, difficulty in maintaining sleep, constant alertness, sudden outbursts of anger, quick anger and difficulty in concentrating on work. Acute Stress Disorder is defined as a stress symptom that begins within four weeks of the traumatic event and appears and disappears for two to thirty days. To diagnose any person with acute stress disorder, at least three dissociative b must be seen. These symptoms are absent-mindedness, unresponsiveness, alienation, estrangement, lethargy, and so on. On the other hand, it is as if the trauma is experienced repeatedly. There are situations such as traumatic images, illusions, situations reminiscent of trauma, and distress that come to the person's eyes repeatedly. However, we should not consider every stress situation as a disorder, and the disorder is rarer than the prevalence of the trauma experienced.

Dissociative Disorder

It is defined as the emergence of identity problem. It usually occurs as a result of bad events in childhood. The child is powerless and helpless in the face of abuse and abuse by people who are older or physically strong than the child. In order to overcome these events, the child resorts to dissociation. Another meaning is expressed as a way of reacting in time of danger. In other words, it is also expressed as the child's reaction to events (sexual assault, abuse, exposure to or witnessing violence, threats to physical integrity, torture, etc.) that he or she has difficulty in coping with. Dissociative disorders are common in people who do not want to upset the people around them and have difficulty saying no to them. It is thought that people who have difficulty in communicating verbally with their environment and do not share their troubles try to express their problems in a different way with a change in consciousness. Major Depression Major depression, which is seen in almost all mental disorders, can also be seen after trauma. It is also one of the most common disorders along with PTSD. Major depression is defined as the presence of depressive symptoms in addition to a depressed state or apathy that lasts for two weeks. At least four of the depressive symptoms are seen for two weeks. These depressive symptoms; depressive person or someone else reporting the situation, not being interested and enjoying the activities as before, irregular diet, excessive weight gain or a loss of weight, feeling the need to sleep excessively, insomnia, feeling tired or losing energy, feeling worthless or feeling guilty, decreased thinking about or concentrating on a subject, thinking about death most of the time, Symptoms such as recurrent suicidal ideation, attempting suicide or having a suicidal ideation, and psychomotor agitation without any premeditation cause major depression.
