PTSD, emotional feelings of wide range, are sometimes experienced without perceptive cognition by individuals having been subject to inappropriate circumstance.

PTSD, more prevalent & widespread than previously acknowledged or treated is endemic.

Abuse/trauma associated with PTSD, subject individuals to riotous, unknown emotion. Thus, many may self-medicate to diminish and/or alleviate symptomology experienced under due duress.

PTSD, if not effectively treated, may compel individuals to drastic measure at their own peril.

PTSD, similar to storms of uncertain emotion, subject individuals to feelings of no appropriate recourse.

PTSD is not a Mental Illness, PTSD is a mind injury.

This is exactly what it feels like. None of it has ever made sense to me. I’ve suffered repeated trauma and it feels like my brain is damaged. It’s the state of confusion that is most troubling. Emotions I don’t understand, no control over what I feel is traumatic for me as well. Mental torture is real.

Leave it to today's most discriminating psychiatrists to throw numerous medications at the individual having experienced trauma without ever having appropriately addressed the issue !!!

AND do you think your medical practitionioner has any conception of what you are currently experiencing ??? If that individual isn't offering you much if any help scream at him/her. You deserve a lot better !!!
