Understanding DSM-5 Criteria for PTSD: A Disorder of Extinction

[@erkaweberhooper3891]

PTSD is NOT classified as an anxiety disorder in the DSM 5. The DSM 5 has reclassifed PTSD under a new category called Trauma and Stress related disorders. I can’t believe they got this wrong.

[@richmondricsson9369]

you are right

[@sr2291]

I have PTSD and DID and was severly traumatized but I consider it to be a stress disorder.

[@coco38628]

She said " yes I still consider it an anxiety disorder "... Clearly they have an understanding that it is not but subjectively choses to regard it as belonging to the former 😊😊

@@coco38628 Are we now supposed to tell strangers we have a Trauma and Stress disorder? Like saying you are a "survivor" of abuse when you never really survived and are still being triggered? No. I am a victim of abuse because I never actually healed and I am unable to earn Substantial Gainful Activity.

@@sr2291 why are you telling a stranger your problems?

At first in my ptsd I did avoidance where I even forgot my first language As I got older I blamed myself and I had ask my family members to forgive me for their sins against me More later I diminished interest negative belief as well as being very aggressive towards ppl and my family friends and my ex fiancé due to me running into his arms for safety and he disarmed me with digging into my past . I didn’t wanna face it I am also a parent so I have responsibilities with children being a person with PTSD and multiple personality disorder. My children have always told me that I’ve always been either asleep or have child like tendencies Playing with them as well they say there are two moms the fun one and the strike one also they tell me I often have nightmares and scream or yell in my sleep I’m always sweating profusely . My oldest is 17 she also has trauma from my sister who was supposed to be taking care of her her her trauma and lack of judgement put her a risk with another abused child sexually. She said she suppressed at first too . Yes we go to therapy and have medication Management but even with that it never goes away it’s always there and ppl discount me because I take medication I honestly don’t know why but that is how my twisted damaged family are .... Recently I’ve come to a better understanding of the wiring of my brain and even my family it’s not an easy pill to swallow . I don’t communicate with my family as much as I should I feel like I have to provide protection for myself and them so I live like a hermit .

The Great Dr Umar Johnson and Young King Cannon, led me here today, not this specific topic, but general knowledge on DSM 5.

My go-to differential diagnostic question: “Do you measure time, quality of life, your existence, anything in terms of “before” (event) and “after” the (event)?”

[@toddryan0108]

Exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence in one (or more) of the following ways: Directly experiencing the traumatic event(s). Witnessing, in person, the event(s) as it occurred to others. Learning that the traumatic event(s) occurred to a close family member or close friend. In cases of actual or threatened death of a family member or friend, the event(s) must have been violent or accidental. Experiencing repeated or extreme exposure to aversive details of the traumatic event(s) (e.g., first responders collecting human remains; police officers repeatedly exposed to details of child abuse). Note: Criterion A4 does not apply to exposure through electronic media, television, movies, or pictures, unless this exposure is work related. Presence of one (or more) of the following intrusion symptoms associated with the traumatic event(s), beginning after the traumatic event(s) occurred: Recurrent, involuntary, and intrusive distressing memories of the traumatic event(s). Note: In children older than 6 years, repetitive play may occur in which themes or aspects of the traumatic event(s) are expressed. Recurrent distressing dreams in which the content and/or affect of the dream are related to the traumatic event(s). Note: In children, there may be frightening dreams without recognizable content. Dissociative reactions (e.g., flashbacks) in which the individual feels or acts as if the traumatic event(s) were recurring. (Such reactions may occur on a continuum, with the most extreme expression being a complete loss of awareness of present surroundings.) Note: In children, trauma-specific reenactment may occur in play. Intense or prolonged psychological distress at exposure to internal or external cues that symbolize or resemble an aspect of the traumatic event(s). Marked physiological reactions to internal or external cues that symbolize or resemble an aspect of the traumatic event(s). Persistent avoidance of stimuli associated with the traumatic event(s), beginning after the traumatic event(s) occurred, as evidenced by one or both of the following: Avoidance of or efforts to avoid distressing memories, thoughts, or feelings about or closely associated with the traumatic event(s). Avoidance of or efforts to avoid external reminders (people, places, conversations, activities, objects, situations) that arouse distressing memories, thoughts, or feelings about or closely associated with the traumatic event(s). Negative alterations in cognitions and mood associated with the traumatic event(s), beginning or worsening after the traumatic event(s) occurred, as evidenced by two (or more) of the following: Inability to remember an important aspect of the traumatic event(s) (typically due to dissociative amnesia, and not to other factors such as head injury, alcohol, or drugs). Persistent and exaggerated negative beliefs or expectations about oneself, others, or the world (e.g., “I am bad,” “No one can be trusted,” “The world is completely dangerous,” “My whole nervous system is permanently ruined”). Persistent, distorted cognitions about the cause or consequences of the traumatic event(s) that lead the individual to blame himself/herself or others. Persistent negative emotional state (e.g., fear, horror, anger, guilt, or shame). Markedly diminished interest or participation in significant activities. Feelings of detachment or estrangement from others. Persistent inability to experience positive emotions (e.g., inability to experience happiness, satisfaction, or loving feelings). Marked alterations in arousal and reactivity associated with the traumatic event(s), beginning or worsening after the traumatic event(s) occurred, as evidenced by two (or more) of the following: Irritable behavior and angry outbursts (with little or no provocation), typically expressed as verbal or physical aggression toward people or objects. Reckless or self-destructive behavior. Hypervigilance. Exaggerated startle response. Problems with concentration. Sleep disturbance (e.g., difficulty falling or staying asleep or restless sleep). Duration of the disturbance (Criteria B, C, D and E) is more than 1 month. The disturbance causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. The disturbance is not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance (e.g., medication, alcohol) or another medical condition.

Wonderful presentation 👍🏾🇧🇧

I have dreams people are going to kill me

[@engineered-mind]

Is PTSD a life threatening disease ?

[@varia2354]

It's not a disease, but it does increase suicide rates among sufferers.

[@philholding6905]

Thank Goodness, at last, a decent vid on PTSD

[@jasondennis3457]

Yes I feel like my life is in danger

[@djangoworldwide7925]

Your criteria C is inaccurate

[@lb-xl1yp]

DUDE, describing the details of what that woman had blocked out is not cool on a freaking educational PTSD video! We come here to learn and help ourselves not get re triggered by a terrible story, that's the entire thing that someone educating about PTSD should know. It is not necessary to describe that to get the point across WTF.

[@sr2291]

Sorry. It sounds like you are an empath.

[@jubileej1629]

she is educating people by giving examples. if you cannot listen to these stories, you should seek therapy before you study psychology or even attempt at it lol
