Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Mnemonics (Memorable Psychiatry Lecture)

The word “trauma” and its associated diagnosis (post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD) are increasingly common in modern day discussions, not only in mental health but in everyday conversation as well! However, there is more nuance to this disorder than is often realized. In this video, we’ll go over not only WHAT the “narrow” definition of PTSD is but also WHY it’s important to use it.

Learn more about PTSD, including its DSM diagnostic criteria, its epidemiology, its prognosis, and its treatment, in this high-yield mnemonics-filled lecture intended for all healthcare providers, including doctors, medical students, psychologists, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, social workers, and more!

I find it disturbing that only very specific, niche stuff get the attention in the context of PTSD. Like 9 out of 10 you only see PTSD considered for war veterans, police and firemen etc. I understand that being exposed or perceived to be exposed to life threatening situations is rough, no debate there and whether it's real threat or not, the fear for your life is no joke. HOWEVER. Besides of violent events or natural disasters there can be plenty other reasons one can develop PTSD.

First responders, ER personal etc, people who aren't exposed to any danger but have to see stuff very graphically detailing the pain, suffer and trauma of others. Witnessing someone else being on the receiving end while you know you will not can also develop something that I heard is called STSD (PTSD from second-hand experience).

Morticians, mortuary workers etc get to see the most disgusting stuff, while also being exposed to compassion fatigue (having to deal with angry / depressed / etc relatives of the dead) while being forced to smile with a comforting and soothing presence.

I understand that literally being at gunpoint sucks, seeing and handling the bodies of dead (and decaying) bodies of children for example is such a nightmare fuel as well and the longterm mental effects of such occupations shouldn't be ignored either. Just my thoughts for what they matter.

Before I was diagnosed with PTSD, I sleep with a knife under my pillow because my nightmares was so intense. I been experiencing this since I was 14 years of age. Gotten worse when I got married in 2015 and divorced 2017. I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2017ish. Was searching for a good psychiatrist 👩‍⚕️ for a year, which she was awesome. Now I’m on the search again in a new state, Oregon because counselors here only talk about their own personal life problems to their patients. 😅

I feel scared all the time and feel like I'm constantly feeling lonely

This helped a bit .
Does intergenerational PTSD - Grandparents - children- grandchildren - also have similar presentations ?
I grew up in a family like that, 2 world wars -service men - and a killer earthquake . No-one, in those days got treated .
The best thing I found for mum & dad, was a tropical fish aqarium, which seemed to bring a level of calmness to both .

When it all clicks into place, having previously been most out-of-tune with oneself!

I disagree with what you say about people over 55, I was over 75 and things associated with the event trigger a reaction, so avoidance is essential.

I think I got PTSD from an acid trip. I had a bad trip that traumatized me for years and every time I would smoke weed after I started reliving the experience. I can't relive the experience just by thinking about it too much. Once I was eating on a outdoor patio with heaters on me and it made me feel like I zoned out and started feeling anxiety.

Is there any common ground or foundation

[healingandgrowth-infp]

That's false about not getting PTSD in childhood. Mine started when I was 6
