PTSD according to DSM IV-TR by the American Psychiatric Association indicates PTSD as Anxiety Disorder 309.81 with a traumatic event in which the person was exposed to a traumatic event in which experienced, witnessed or confronted with or threatened death or serious injury or a threat to the physical integrity of self or others in which the person's response involved intense fear, helpessness or horror. The event is persistently reexperienced in one of the following ways distressing recollections, images, thoughts or perceptions, distressing dreams, feeling the traumatic event were recurring, psychological distress, reactivity on exposure to cues that symbolize an aspect of the traumatic event. persistent avoidance of stimuli, efforts to avoid everything regarding that trauma, diminished interest in significant activities, feeling of detachment sense of foreshortened future, difficulty falling asleep, irritability, outbursts of anger, difficulty concentrating, hypervigilance and startle response. Chronic is 3 months. Acute is practially same thing. except dissociative symptoms subjective sense of numbing, detachment, assence of emotional responsiveness, being in a daze, derealization, depersonalization, dissociative amnesia about something regarding the trauma
Would it be an easy association between the two, I feel both of these.....and i wonder if im being treated for the right one or if they both could be existant of one or the other.
