A comprehensive look at the causes of PTSD and how to treat it - By: Rolf Dobelli, 11 Aug 2008
Some people's lives are picture-perfect, filled with sunny days, starry nights & happy weekends. The good times just keep on coming. For post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) victims, things also go on forever. Over & over, they mentally relive their most traumatic experiencesin a continuing nightmare. PTSD is insidious. First you are the victim of severe, unspeakable trauma. Then, like a ghost, the trauma comes back to haunt you. Many associate PTSD only with combat veterans. However, almost any severe, stressful event can cause PTSD, be it rape or assault, abuse, a natural disaster, a terrorist attack or an accident. PTSD is a deadly, serious problem that plagues its victims. Fortunately, it does not have to be a life sentence. Treatment is available & recovery is possible, as Glenn R. Schiraldi explainsin this thorough sourcebook. In fact, he states firmly that PTSD is curable with the proper therapies. If you or someone you care about suffers from PTSD, getAbstract thinks this book could be useful, helpful & encouraging.
