The Different Forms of PTSD and Why PTSD Treatment Matters

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Society often makes assumptions about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and believes that you will have unstable episodes. However, these assumptions fail to understand that PTSD is not some general form of mental illness. Instead, PTSD comes in different variations that affect your daily life. 

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, PTSD is from any event beyond the typical stressors. Some of the most notable include acts of violence, human-made or natural disasters, and combat. 

Those who suffer from PTSD experience recurring thoughts, detachment, numbness, and sleep problems. These issues impact your ability to function normally in a social environment, at work, and at home. We look at the different forms of PTSD and how PTSD treatment can make a difference in helping you to recover fully. 

The Normal Stress Response 

A normal stress response is when PTSD starts but does not lead to severe cases. These are from injuries, illnesses, accidents, and surgeries that increase stress and tension. 

For example, after an auto accident, it is not easy to drive a car down the road. You are fearful of the same events happening to you that lead to the accident. The fear is because you have higher amounts of stress and relive the accident to an extent. The increases in tension are normal stress response PTSD and impact your ability to drive a car. 

The best way to deal with these issues is to go to individual and group therapy to learn how to manage your PTSD.  We recommend seeking out PTSD treatment within a few weeks of the event to prevent things from becoming worse.

Acute Stress 

Acute stress occurs when you go through a natural disaster, death of a loved one, job loss, or the threat of death. These events will cause PTSD to develop over time by relieving these events and how they change your life. 

For instance, the loss of your parents is tragic in your life, and you have trouble dealing with these events. If you don’t seek treatment, you will develop PTSD by living with unresolved events. 

The best approach is to go to our trained professionals who can help you to gain some perspective.
