Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is an illness that people can get from different terrible events. People who are or were living through or experiencing a traumatic event would have this. You feel stressed and you don’t want to do anything. People with past traumatic stress disorder may have flashbacks, can’t sleep, feeling alone, have angry outbursts, and have different feelings. You can be any age and have post traumatic stress disorder. People who have this tend to avoid certain things. They avoid people and other things that will make them remember the event.

            There are three different types of therapy solutions. One way is a behavior therapy which teaches you to relax and how to cope with the event that occurred. The second way is cognitive therapy which helps people to learn how to think positive and not negative thoughts. The third way is a group therapy which gives people the chance to talk to other people that know what it’s like and they know what they are talking about. The group therapy helps more people with their problems then any of the other therapies. People can contact different places.

            People that have post traumatic stress disorder have a harder time getting through life. It’s harder for them because they went through something terrible and it can’t be taken back once it is done and over with except for the person it happened to. Nobody in the world should have to deal with post traumatic stress disorder because some people can’t handle all the pressure. Also people that have post traumatic stress disorder have a harder time getting along with other people because they are scared. Another reason why it is harder for people that have it to get along with other people is because they don’t want to hear or see anything that will bring back the memory of what happened.
