PTSD

PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) is not something just associated with war veterans. PTSD can affect anyone, including teenagers and adolescents. It is triggered by intense or dramatic life changing events, such as the death of the loved one as well as cases of sexual abuse or rape. PTSD may be triggered by one serious event, a series of events, or exposure to a situation for an exposed amount of time.

What is PTSD in Teens?

PTSD is a mental health problem that can affect anyone following a traumatic event or series of events. Those with PTSD often have vivid memories or flashbacks of the traumatic event. The symptoms can become serious or debilitating if not properly diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.

There is a natural recovery period for any human being when exposed to something traumatic. For example, a sudden gunshot may make some people just jump, while others may experience a significant heart rate increase. Some people recover from a traumatic incident relatively quickly, while others struggle for an extended period time, while others still may never seem to be able to get to the point of full recovery. Depression or severe anxiety can be experienced by those with PTSD and this may last for many months or even years. When PTSD is present in adolescents, it can become a chronic disorder. However, PTSD in teens is treatable.

Symptoms of

PTSD

Symptoms of PTSD in teens are almost identical to those in adults with PTSD. Symptoms do not necessarily appear immediately after the event and may take a month or more to show.

Symptoms of PTSD in teens are:

  • Avoidance of people, places or activities that remind the person of the traumatic event that they experienced;
  • increased arousal including inability to sleep, difficulty concentrating, easy agitation and anger; and
  • flashbacks, nightmares and recollections of the traumatic event.

The symptoms will also vary according to the level, intensity and time exposed to the traumatic event or events. For example, a rape victim may take longer to recover than one involved in a car crash.

Antidepressant medication can be prescribed to help calm or relax the patient.
