Post-traumatic Stress Disorder01:27

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

665
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,...

Traumatic Memory

628
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...

Psychoneuroimmunology: Cardiovascular Disease

612
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is a multidisciplinary field that examines how psychological factors, particularly stress, interact with the immune system and impact physical health. Research in PNI has shown that chronic or traumatic stress can disrupt both the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system. These disruptions contribute to serious health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases.
A key area of focus in PNI is the relationship between stress and coronary...

Flail Chest-II

732
Managing flail chest, a condition characterized by a segment of the chest wall moving independently from the rest of the thoracic cage, requires a comprehensive approach. It includes a thorough assessment of the patient's condition, a diagnostic evaluation to determine the extent of the injury, and the implementation of appropriate medical interventions tailored to the individual's needs.

Dissociative Identity Disorder01:30

Dissociative Identity Disorder

1.2K
Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), previously termed multiple personality disorder, is a complex psychological condition characterized by the presence of two or more distinct identities or personality states. Each identity exhibits unique patterns of behavior, voice, and mannerisms and may possess separate memories and emotional responses. The alternating control between identities can result in memory gaps and challenges in recalling daily activities, often exacerbating the individual's...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Trauma Studies
  • Military Medicine

Background:

  • Militant activities result in significant casualties requiring medical attention.
  • Understanding the psychological impact of such trauma is crucial for effective healthcare.
  • Post-traumatic stress symptoms and disorder are common sequelae of exposure to violence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and persistence of post-traumatic stress symptoms and disorder in patients injured during militant activities.
  • To identify demographic factors associated with psychological trauma in this population.
  • To discuss early recognition and preventive strategies for psychic trauma.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study of 601 patients admitted to a zonal referral hospital over a 7-month period.
  • Assessment of post-traumatic stress symptoms and diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder.
  • Follow-up evaluations at six months and one year post-injury.

Main Results:

  • A majority of casualties were from Armed Forces (54.6%) and para-military forces (38.8%), aged 22-53 years.
  • Civilian casualties accounted for 6.7% (aged 20-45 years).
  • 75.7% manifested post-traumatic stress symptoms, with 24.3% diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. Persistence rates were 17.1% at six months and 4.95% at one year.

Conclusions:

  • Patients injured in militant activities are at high risk for developing post-traumatic stress disorder.
  • A notable proportion experience persistent symptoms, highlighting the need for long-term psychological support.
  • Early identification and intervention strategies are essential for managing psychic trauma in this vulnerable group.
