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.

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 Individuals diagnosed with ADHD are also at risk for depression. Post-traumatic stress disorder and pain also occur together; as well as obesity and cardiovascular disease. I have mentioned symptoms of major depression, children and the elderly tend to have different symptoms. I hope that this has been of some help to you! Personally, my depression has gotten much better with medication and a good doctor! I still like to answer questions on medhelp and hang out in a comfy bathrobe!

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 f tn Lareina, I did say that medications are different for everyone. you may have read my post out of context somewhere. I want to give you a chance to explain why you're so upset. and if there's anything we can do for you. However, I want you to understand that we are trying to be supportive here. But I hope you're aware you are on the bipolar forum. The people who come here have bipolar disorder or a friend or family member that has bipolar disorder and they're looking for help.
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.
