War Traumatic Syndrome

No matter what the purpose of launching a war is, it is an unjust act. In war, soldiers who fight bravely will not only suffer physical injuries, but many soldiers will also suffer from war trauma syndrome in their hearts after the war. War Traumatic Stress Syndrome is a psychological disease that may occur in soldiers. Today's article will provide readers with some knowledge about War Traumatic Stress Syndrome.

Post-war psychological syndrome is a type of "post-traumatic stress disorder", also known as post-traumatic stress disorder, post-traumatic stress syndrome, post-traumatic mental tension disorder, and sequelae of major blows. It refers to the sequelae of mental disorder caused by a person encountering or confronting major pressure. These experiences include threats to life, serious physical harm, and physical or mental coercion. It is sometimes referred to as post-traumatic stress disorder to emphasize that this phenomenon is a normal result of experiencing trauma, rather than a problem with the patient's psychological state.

There are two situations:

First : immediate processing.

1. It is best to have immediate intervention by military and police personnel, volunteers and first-line emergency medical personnel at the scene of the rescue. Allow the client to vent his or her fear, anger, grief and other emotions within a limited time and space. Provide emotional support and encourage emotional expression, avoid saying things like "I'm sorry, it's always possible to start over" so as not to block emotions, and certainly don't suppress them forcibly. It may be necessary to have the client talk several times.

2. Low doses of sedatives and sleeping pills can be prescribed by a doctor to treat severe anxiety or recurrent insomnia. Pay attention to drug education and avoid drug abuse.

Second : follow-up processing.

1. Arrange psychological counseling or psychotherapy: The client is still encouraged to talk more and deal with his inappropriate self-blame and the guilt of the survivor (my family members died, but I survived). At this time, the client will often question the meaning of life, become confused about life and death, or have suicidal thoughts. They need to be helped through the grief with a firm attitude and companionship and listening. Individual or group psychotherapy models can be used to handle this.

2. Continue to use antidepressants/anti-anxiety drugs with the assistance of a psychiatrist. At this time, it is important to pay attention to the individual's use of alcohol or abuse of sedatives and hypnotics to self-deal with emotions.

3. If the person is a victim of a crime, he or she will urgently need a safe environment, and arranging a regular pace of life (such as exercise) will help to recover as soon as possible.
