Hello;
TSSB stands for post-traumatic stress disorder. Trauma is a concept that should be considered as a wide spectrum that includes situations such as natural disasters that occur in person, as well as negative situations (harassment, abuse, psychological and physical violence, mobbing) that are deliberately and consciously made by people.
Trauma can be in a primary way, that is, in a situation where the person is born, as a secondary trauma, that is, witnessing the traumatic situation closely can also create a trauma effect on the person. According to DSM, the most conspicuous and most frequently experienced traumatic symptoms are; Flashback is the feeling of constantly remembering or even re-experiencing stimuli, people and objects that remind us of the traumatic memory. Feelings of guilt and worthlessness are frequently felt in people who have experienced trauma. Especially if the feeling of guilt accompanies the situation, the traumatic person is more affected by the event and has difficulty in coping. Sleep disorders (especially sleep avoidance), eating disorders, deterioration of interpersonal relationships, depression and other psychiatric disorders often accompany trauma. Trauma affects not only the affected person but also the environment of the affected person. Confidence problems with other people, lack of attention, loss of pleasure and interest can often be experienced.
The degree of being affected by the traumatic situation is a situation that can vary from person to person. The severity of the trauma, its duration, by whom it was carried out, are among the factors affecting the severity of the traumatic situation. In cases such as natural disasters and floods, we may show temporary traumatic symptoms that last for a maximum of 1 month. If it lasts more than 1 month, you should get psychological support.
Trauma takes over a person’s soul and body. In the treatment of trauma, systematic desensitization, exposure and visual imagery techniques are the treatment goals for the person to tolerate and depersonalize traumatic stimuli that stress, disturb, and frighten.
