thank you for getting straight to the point and being super informative!

Thank you once again. Your videos have been very educational 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Before I was diagnosed with PTSD , I sleep with a knife under my pillow because my nightmares was so intense. I been experiencing this since I was 14 years of age. Gotten worse when I got married in 2015 and divorced 2017. I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2017ish. Was searching for a good psychiatrist 👩‍⚕️ for a year, which she was awesome. Now I’m on the search again in a new state , Oregon because counselors here only talk about their own personal life problems to their patients. 😅

Thanks alot I'm just entering to psychiatry residency and your videos are life saving :)

This helped a bit . Does intergenerational PTSD - Grandparents - children- grandchildren - also have similar presentations ? I grew up in a family like that , 2 world wars -service men - and a killer earthquake . No-one , in those days got treated . The best thing I found for mum & dad , was a tropical fish aqarium , which seemed to bring a level of calmness to both .

Thanks for the info on prazosin.

Great videos as always

I think I got PTSD from an acid trip. I had a bad trip that traumatized me for years and every time I would smoke weed after I started reliving the experience. I can't relive the experience just by thinking about it too much. Once I was eating on a outdoor patio with heaters on me and it made me feel like I zoned out and started feeling anxiety.

Your channel is the best

I feel scared all the time and feel like I'm constantly feeling lonely

This is flicking good video ever in psychology _ Thanks from korea

prolong stressful events such experienced by healthcare staff - can it effects them?

I find it disturbing that only very specific, niche stuff get the attention in the context of PTSD. Like 9 out of 10 you only see PTSD considered for war veterans, police and firemen etc. I understand that being exposed or perceived to be exposed to life threatening situations is rough, no debate there and whether it's real threat or not, the fear for your life is no joke. HOWEVER. Besides of violent events or natural disasters there can be plenty other reasons one can develop PTSD. First responders, ER personal etc, people who aren't exposed to any danger but have to see stuff very graphically detailing the pain, suffer and trauma of others. Witnessing someone else being on the receiving end while you know you will not can also develop something that I heard is called STSD (PTSD from second-hand experience). Morticians, mortuary workers etc get to see the most disgusting stuff, while also being exposed to compassion fatigue (having to deal with angry / depressed / etc relatives of the dead) while being forced to smile with a comforting and soothing presence. I understand that literally being at gunpoint sucks, seeing and handling the bodies of dead (and decaying) bodies of children for example is such a nightmare fuel as well and the longterm mental effects of such occupations shouldn't be ignored either. Just my thoughts for what they matter.

Is there any common ground or foundation

This is dope.

4:02 When it all clicks into place, having previously been most out-of-tune with oneself!

hi where did you get this stat? 5:10

Yep.

What book did you used for this? Thanks! - from Philippines

What about TOXIC STRESS WORK ENVIRONMENT. My PTSD is so bad now... I stop breathing at night.

❤

I have problems just concentrating

That's false about not getting PTSD in childhood. Mine started when I was 6

I disagree with what you say about people over 55, I was over 75 and things associated with the event trigger a reaction, so avoidance is essential.

PTSDs nuts

Can you have PTSD after being publicly embarrassed humiliated mortified traumatized named and shamed. I had extreme anxiety and didn't want to leave the house withdrew didn't want to anyone after videos were put on the internet

Your definition of trauma is very incomplete big time. Trauma is not always caused because of a physical event like war, accident etc. Trauma can be caused by any event that a person's brain finds it hard to rationalize and process due to the fear response in the amygdala of the brain. A horror movie can traumatize a young kid for a long time causing necro-phobeia because kids have a sensitive nervous system. So many other small things can cause PTSD. Next time get it right.

Love how PTSD discussion always refer to soldiers and firefighters, while women who suffer extreme pain and have a higher likelihood of dying during child brith, are never mentioned.

Can you get PTSD after being embarrassed humiliated mortified traumatized named and shamed personal videos photos posted on the internet of a sexual nature naked for everyone to see as I'm still can't forget it six years on with the first three years causing me phychosios

It's. Called.after a gender? That's shovanist.
