Extractions: Advertisement Leonard Holmes, Ph.D. http://mentalhealth.about.com In a previous feature we reviewed the diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This diagnosis is given when someone experiences an overwhelming trauma and has symptoms which last for more than 30 days. When the stressor is extremely severe and the person experiencing it is a young child, a more severe disorder sometimes develops. A dissociative disorder occurs when traumatic material is split-off or dissociated from the remainder of consciousness. Others articles have dealt with some of the recent research concerning recovered memory. It has been established that the memory of traumatic events is sometimes dissociated or repressed and recovered at a later time. Researchers are just beginning to study what is happening in the brain when this occurs. The dissociation of traumatic material can involve the mere forgetting of a traumatic event, or it can involve the splitting of the personality into different parts. A person whose personality has split into different parts, each of which can take "executive control" of the body, is said to have Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID - formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder - MPD). This is the extreme end of the continuum of dissociation. Other people have a milder form of dissociative disorder. Some, for example, have internal parts which "talk" to each other but do not take executive control.

After the Diet is dedicated to helping humans overcome eating problems. We emphasize the word "human" because there is no such thing as perfect eating. When the pursuit of perfection becomes the focus of life, we lose the ability to be productive, loving, and involved in the world around us. We prefer to put the focus on a balance between healthy eating, exercise, and relationships with others. After the Diet se dedica a ayudando a problemas con problemas alimentarios. Ponemos énfasis en la palabra "humano" porque no existe una manera de comer perfectamente. Cuando perfección es el foco de la vida, se nos perdemos la habilidad de estar productivos, amorosos, y interesados en el mundo alrededor nosotros.

PTSD in General In Traumatic Stress: The Effects of Overwhelming Experience on Mind, Body, and Society , edited by Bessel van der Kolk and colleagues, several of the world's leading experts on PTSD attempt to summarize the current state of knowledge about the effects of trauma on psychological, biological, and social systems, and to examine the interrelationships among these different realms. They present a range of treatment options that have been developed for different trauma populations over the past two decades. The scientific aspects of traumatic stress are covered by Matthew Friedman and colleagues in Neurobiological and Clinical Consequences of Stress . They examine basic science studies of stress from a variety of approaches, and describe animal models of neurobiological processes that have heuristic value for clinical theory on the pathophysiology of PTSD. Later chapters discuss laboratory and clinical abnormalities detected in human subjects exposed to normal stressors and in PTSD patients exposed to traumatic stressors. Research findings applicable to the detection, diagnosis, and psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy of PTSD are also reviewed.

Waterfobia Provides information and counseling for Anxiety, Panic Disorder, ObsessiveCompulsive and post-traumatic stress. Offers a biography of Dr. Whojovick with contact information. http://www.waterfobia.com
Extractions: Anxiety, emotional state in which people feel uneasy, apprehensive, or fearful. People usually experience anxiety about events they cannot control or predict, or about events that seem threatening or dangerous. For example, students taking an important test may feel anxious because they cannot predict the test questions or feel certain of a good grade. People often use the words fear and anxiety to describe the same thing. Fear also describes a reaction to immediate danger characterized by a strong desire to escape the situation. The physical symptoms of anxiety reflect a chronic readiness to deal with some future threat. These symptoms may include fidgeting, muscle tension, sleeping problems, and headaches. Higher levels of anxiety may produce such symptoms as rapid heartbeat, sweating, increased blood pressure, nausea, and dizziness.

The Etiology Of Combat-Related Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders with the symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, chronic and Report of the specialworking group Mental Shatan, CF stress disorders among Vietnam veterans http://home.earthlink.net/~dougyelmen/readjust.html
Extractions: Most Vietnam veterans have adjusted well to life back in the United States, following their wartime experiences. That's a tribute to these veterans who faced a difficult homecoming to say the least. However, a very large number of veterans haven't made it all the way home from the war in Southeast Asia. By conservative estimates, at least half a million Vietnam veterans still lead lives plagued by serious, war-related readjustment problems. Such problems crop up in a number of ways, varying from veteran to veteran. Flashbacks to combat... feelings of alienation or anger... depression, loneliness and an inability to get close to others... sometimes drug or alcohol problems... perhaps even suicidal feelings. The litany goes on. In its efforts to help these veterans, the 700,000-member Disabled American Veterans (DAV) funded the FORGOTTEN WARRIOR PROJECT research on Vietnam veterans by John P. Wilson, Ph.D. at Cleveland State University. That research resulted in formation of the DAV Vietnam Veterans Outreach Program to provide counseling to these veterans in 1978. With 70 outreach offices across the United States, this DAV program served as a model for the Veterans Administration (VA) Operation Outreach program for Vietnam era veterans, which was established approximately a year later.

Combat fatigue and shell shock are terms that were used in previous wars, and we have been familiar with the effects of trauma for a long time. Trauma from child abuse and natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, and fires affects us in similar ways.
