I stumbled upon this great blog about PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). It is written by someone who works with and manages his own PTSD.
He provides clear descriptions about what is happening in the body - dysregulation vacillating from depression to anxiety. Sometimes PTSD is mistaken for bipolar disorder because of the ups and downs in emotions. A trauma-specific assessment makes good sense, especially considering how incredibly prevalent trauma exposure is in our country.
He also provides self-help ideas for coping. As he mentions, there is not always a therapist around when PTSD symptoms spike.
Check it out and share with someone you know. There is no need to struggle alone or in shame. Clicking on the link below will take you to the PTSD blog...
