Avatar m tn after my 1st visit with the psychologist, she diagnose me with post traumatic stress disorder. she said the reason i got addicted and worry so much is due to losing my leg when i was 15. not sure if i agree with her. i do think about it sometimes when i see someone running or walking fast, i think to myself "i wish i had my leg back". or if i see myself in a video i realize "I WALK WITH A LIMP".

This said, I think it important that you tell your parents what is going on and see if you can get in to see a therapist about it so you can sort out the dreams and hopefully resolve it. Take care. Keep us posted on how you are doing.

Avatar f tn Post-traumatic stress disorder is a type of anxiety disorder as I understand so yes it can be one reason your heart failure developed. I strongly believe mine happened because of high stress level for years and very high for a few months. Even with family history, viral infection, and long time not treated high blood pressure that all also factors, and I had them all ,if the stress level wasn’t that high that I had I probably never get down that suddenly and badly.
Avatar m tn Some of the causes are heredity, hormonal changes, daily stress, mental disorders, post traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, phobias etc. You should find out the triggering factor and avoid it strictly. Try relaxation therapies to avoid stress. Regular exercise will help improve circulation and make her enthusiastic. You need to share your problems with some one and put your thoughts in right way.

Avatar f tn Yesterday and today Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has been associated with any traumatic event which leaves the witness/participant with feelings of helplessness. There are several definitions for PTSD however, I believe the most accurate is: PTSD is an emotional injury based on a catastrophic event.
Avatar m tn Two years ago I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and as time went on I was found to have Post-traumatic stress disorder as well. As most people on medications for mental illnesses. I quit taking mine through the two year period and in that time resolved little issues. I never took therapy although I should have but listened to people say "Buck up and quit complaining." or something along those lines.
