March Is “Brain InjuryAwareness” Month
When we think or hear of abrain injury, we refer to it as eitherorganic, brain tissue or toxicchemical destruction, or physicaltrauma. There is another type ofbrain injury that is nowcommonly known to us, the PostTraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).We are faced by many morechallenges with the prevalenceand high incidences of PTSD.PTSD has been in existence formany years. It has been suggestedto be the results from an
emotional response toenvironmental events withunderlying psychological trauma.We see more and more cases ofdiagnosed PTSD especially amongcombat soldiers, “Our Vets” thatcame home from the war. Wehave seniors in our Communitythat were in World War II, Koreanand Vietnam War. Most of themdo not like to talk about thedetails of what they haveexperienced during the war. Somedon’t like to talk about it at all. It’semotionally disturbing to them.
PTSD presents the characteristicsymptoms of high anxiety, hypervigilance, irritability, difficulty tocalm down, negativity,exaggerated reaction to stimuli,some become antisocial, ordifficulty with interpersonalrelationships. The trauma is socomplex that resulted fromrepeated, prolonged exposure tomultiple forms of interpersonaltrauma, often under certaincircumstances where escape is notpossible. In order to understandthe complexity of PTSD, we needto know the different perspectivesof the disorder. We need morehealthcare professionals orproviders that will focus ontreating and assisting thoseindividuals especially thosevictims of war. Challenges withPTSD has just begun for the newgeneration to come.
Please support our troops!
