The Vietnam War is one part of our dark history, an infamous conflict during the early 70s. This is a military event between the Communist forces of North Vietnam supported by China and the Soviet Union, and the non-communist forces of South Vietnam which was supported by the United States. It was a fierce battle between the Vietcong forces and the U.S Troops which ended after the Fall of Saigon in April 30, 1975.

It was a very costly war for the U.S but the main casualties are the Vietnam veterans which resulted from having a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This disorder is caused by prolonged exposure to violence and active warfare, also known as combat fatigue. This type of stress disorder is a delayed response to any stress situation or it can be threatening or catastrophic in nature like being in a combat action, witnessing a violent death of others, rape, terrorism and even torture.

Trauma occurs when a person had experienced, witnessed or confronted such a terrible event or that person may have been threatened with a terrible event, perhaps injury (psychological or physical). The person would usually respond to the event or the threat involves intense fear or helplessness. But having a strong reactions to trauma is normal.

Symptoms of PTSD include:
1. Flashbacks
2. A sense of numbness
3. Detachment
4. Avoidance of situations/activities reminiscent of the trauma
5. Sleep disturbances
6. Nightmares
7. Marital and Parental difficulties
8. Emotional instability

In PTSD, there is a state of enhanced startle reaction and insomnia. Depression and anxiety are commonly associated with above symptoms and signs, and suicidal ideation is not infrequent. The constant use of alcohol or drugs may be a complicating factor.

The consequences of PTSD are the following:
1. Psychological – aside from depression, it also includes panic attacks, social anxiety, conduct disorders, dissociation, and eating disorders.
2. Social outcomes – low self-esteem, alcohol and substance use, employment problems, trouble with the law.
3. Self-destructive behaviors- such as substance use, risky sexual behavior, self-injury and suicidal attempts
4. Physiological outcomes- physical complaints like headaches, digestive problems, chest pain, chronic pain
Anyone who has a prolonged exposure to severe traumatic experience is likely to have symptoms of post-traumatic stress. However, it may appear soon or after the event, while another many not surface right away. It may take years, one person may have relatively difficult adjusting and returning to a normal state.

Treatments for PTSD
The first step in getting treatment is getting a proper diagnosis and then treatment. This may include:
l Psychotherapy – treatment often takes longer and progresses more slowly than with other types of anxiety disorders, and is most effective with a trauma recovery program like cognitive-behavioral therapy.
l Medications – anti-depressants to calm anxiety and stabilize mood.
l Other Forms - There is also Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy combining a somatic therapeutic approach with eye movements or other forms of rhythmical stimulation. While somatic experiencing is a therapy incorporates observations of how animal treat themselves following traumatic events and focuses on restoring normality to the stress response.

One thing is for sure when being emotionally detached after a trauma is not a healthy response. Family and friends should lend a helping hand by giving enough comfort and support to victims who is suffering from this stress disorder. Quick recovery is possible if it is detected early. Showing how much you care for the victim will help him or her be determined to seek help and commit themselves to treatment.

During World War Two, a strange phenomenon called "Battle Fatigue" affected many veterans after they returned home from combat zones in Europe and the Pacific. Today, we know this condition to be "post traumatic stress disorder". Back then, returning veterans didn't talk about it, because discussing these worrisome symptoms suggested weakness or cowardice.

Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a medical disorder that can occur to anyone after experiencing an extremely stressful situation. Soldiers aren't the only ones to suffer from this condition. Natural disaster survivors, as well as those who have experienced and survived attacks and accidents, also suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. More than 5 million adults are affected by this disorder every year. Twice as many women are affected than men. Post traumatic stress disorder wasn't even understood until the 1970's. Many sufferers were diagnosed as having stress or battle fatigue, given medication and sent home. After the recent involvement of the United States military personnel in the Middle East and Iraq, the condition has grown more common.

A victim may experience one of many symptoms: A flashback or nightmare. Reaction to situations or events that trigger a powerful emotional or physical response. A feeling of detachment, loss of interest in activities or a lack of positive emotion. Avoidance of anything (activities, people or situations) associated with the trauma. Difficulty sleeping, irritability and exaggerated responses to being startled.

Many people exhibit roller coaster feelings or emotions after a traumatic experience, but for most, such symptoms normally fade after a few weeks. Nevertheless, recognizing the early signs and symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder is important, as it can incur long-lasting consequences for those who suffer from it. Physiological changes that occur in victims have a brutal affect on both neurobiological functions such as memory, as well as fear-response reactions. Seeping habits and the ability to deal with any stress can be disrupted. Physical complaints can range from headaches, to immune system disruption, debilitating pain, and in some cases, asthma.

Depression and a sense of growing anxiety can lead to phobias, panic attacks and behavioral changes. If you feel that someone you know is suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, it's extremely important that he or she get help. It will not go away by itself. Anyone who has been diagnosed and is trying to recover needs the help of family, friends and medical personnel to combat this invisible, yet dehabilitating condition. Post traumatic stress disorder is not in the victim's head, and should be taken very seriously.
