Understanding Trauma-Related Disorders

Trauma impacts person's physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing that unfolds in various symptoms, collectively known as trauma-related disorder symptoms.

"The aftermath of a traumatic event can manifest itself in numerous ways, which may become more apparent over time."

Trauma-Related Disorders are not uniform across individuals. These include but aren't restricted to:

• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Often associated with veterans, but can affect anyone who has experienced a traumatic event.
• Acute Stress Disorder: This is a short-term disorder often occurring in the immediate wake of a traumatic event.
• Adjustment Disorders: These occur when an individual struggles to cope with a stressful life event.

As we delve deeper, we'll understand more about the symptoms of these disorders.

Symptoms of Trauma-Related Disorders

The symptoms can broadly be categorized into physical and psychological symptoms. Among physical symptoms, individuals might experience:

• Unexplainable aches and pains
• Sudden onset of medical conditions
• Chronic fatigue and other sleep-related problems

The psychological symptoms often include:

1. Dreams or recurring thoughts about the traumatic event
2. Difficulties in maintaining close relationships
3. Exaggerated startle response
4. Emotional numbness

"Recognizing the symptoms is the first step towards seeking appropriate help."
