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

im a clinical social worker and i have learned more about diagnosis from your youtube than I have in any grad school class. You truly are an expert. Thank you for putting this out there.

Once again you’ve made a complex topic very very simple to understand God bless you for ALL your efforts 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅

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. 😅

thank you for getting straight to the point and being super informative!

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.

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 .

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

This is dope.

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.

prolong stressful events such experienced by healthcare staff - can it effects them?

4:02 When it all clicks into place, having previously been most out-of-tune with oneself!

Is there any common ground or foundation

Yep.
