Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that arises following exposure to traumatic events such as natural disasters, forced displacement, or severe accidents. It significantly impairs individuals' ability to cope with daily activities and disrupts their emotional and psychological equilibrium.
Symptoms and Behavioral Manifestations
A spectrum of distressing symptoms characterizes PTSD. Recurrent flashbacks, where individuals involuntarily relive traumatic events, are a...

Cognitive Dissonance

Cognitive Dissonance

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Venous Return

Venous Return

The circulatory system plays a crucial role in ensuring the optimal functioning of the human body. One of its critical components is venous return - the process that completes the blood circulation cycle. This article will delve into the concept of venous return, how it works, and its significance to our health.
What is Venous Return?
Venous return refers to the rate at which blood flows back to the heart from the body's peripheral veins. It's an integral part of the circulatory system as it...

Traumatic Memory

Traumatic Memory

Emotionally traumatic events often lead to memories that are exceptionally vivid and enduring, sometimes persisting with remarkable clarity throughout an individual's life. A classic example of this phenomenon is a person who survives a car accident. Even years later, they may recall every detail of the event with startling accuracy — the screeching of the tires, the jarring impact, and the acrid smell of burning rubber. Such vividness contrasts sharply with how an individual remembers mundane...

Traumatic Brain Injury l: Introduction

Traumatic Brain Injury l: Introduction

DefinitionTraumatic brain injury, or TBI, is a disturbance of normal brain function induced by an external mechanical force, such as a direct blow to the head or a penetrating injury. It can affect both brain structure and function, producing a wide range of clinical outcomes. TBI is a heterogeneous condition, meaning its effects may differ based on the type, location, and severity of the injury.Basis of ClassificationTBI is classified based on severity, injury mechanism, or pathophysiology. In...

Classification of Illness

Classification of Illness

The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe and...

Background:

Driving ability is crucial for reintegration after military service.
Returning Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) service members have underreported driving capabilities.
Unique risk factors for unsafe driving in this cohort require examination.

Purpose of the Study:

To review unique risk factors for unsafe driving in OEF/OIF returning service members.
To examine the association between cognitive/psychological symptoms and impaired driving.
To highlight the impact of military driving tactics on civilian driving.

Main Methods:

Literature review of OEF/OIF service members' driving abilities.
Analysis of cognitive and psychological symptoms related to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Examination of military-acquired driving tactics ('battlemind driving tactics').

Main Results:

mTBI and PTSD symptoms are common in returning service members and may impair driving.
Military evasive driving skills ('battlemind driving tactics') may pose risks in civilian contexts.
Impaired driving can limit rehabilitation and community reintegration.

Conclusions:

Returning OEF/OIF service members face specific driving challenges.
Cognitive, psychological, and tactical factors contribute to impaired driving risk.
Further research is needed to address driving impairments and support successful reintegration.
