@drjaleelmohammed: Trauma can lead to a range of mental health conditions. Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) occurs shortly after a traumatic event, usually within a few days, and can last up to a month. Symptoms include intrusive thoughts, confusion, flashbacks, and anxiety. ASD can disrupt daily life, and if untreated, may evolve into post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is diagnosed when trauma symptoms persist for over a month. Individuals with PTSD may experience flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, and hypervigilance. The trauma is often re-experienced, leading to distress and avoidance behaviours. PTSD affects the ability to function normally in daily life, and symptoms can last for months or years. Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) results from prolonged or repeated trauma, often in situations where the individual feels trapped, such as childhood abuse or long-term domestic violence. In addition to PTSD symptoms, those with C-PTSD often struggle with emotional regulation, self-perception, and interpersonal relationships. Adjustment Disorder occurs when an individual has difficulty coping with a significant life change or stressor, such as a loss or transition. Symptoms include feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and anxiety. Adjustment disorder usually improves once the stressor is managed. #ptsd #complexptsd #stress #trauma #MentalHealth #psychiatry #psychiatrist
