What is PTSD
When we experience a stressful or traumatic event, our brains and bodies go through a series of natural reactions. The brain produces substances that make changes in the functioning of several areas within the brain. Basically this creates the fight, flight, or freeze response.
Post-traumatic stress disorder can be Simple Trauma or Complex Trauma. Simple Trauma is defined as one traumatic event such as serious injury or death/threatened death, or threatened or actual sexual violence or other very frightening events. Complex Trauma, is exposure to prolonged or repeated trauma from neglect, violence, physical or sexual abuse, or similar actions.
PTSD can involve direct exposure to one or more of these events, witnessing such an event, or hearing about someone close to them experiencing such an event.
The symptoms can occur within the month that the trauma occurred, or they may not show up for years, until triggered by something. The trigger can be something similar to the actual event, or it might be something your mind interprets as a similar threat.
