Catherine is a working girl in a city. The house is quite far from the workplace. He has to travel by public transport. One day it was quite late to leave the office due to work pressure. He boarded a bus to go home. And just before the last stop at his house. Quite a lot of the way. So he put it on the seat. The eyes may have come from fatigue. When he opened his eyes he saw that he was the only passenger in the bus and a boy was standing next to the driver. He asked the driver if the bus will not go forward? The driver said he would go. The young driver told her to sit quietly, but the young woman felt that something unusual was going to happen. Much like the sixth Indra someone told him something is very bad. So he wanted to get off the bus. Then the driver increased the speed of the bus. of the young woman. Nothing left to understand. Hell may descend inside the bus within a short time. Something will happen to him that even in his worst nightmares.
The incidents of accidents in moving buses that he had read in the newspapers were running through his head. He made a last effort to save himself. He ran towards the door of the bus. The boy tried his best to stop him, but maybe some other power was exerted on the young woman desperate to save her life. He used all his strength like a blind man. How much did he hurt, how much pain did he get? He doesn't know, only he knows that the driver slowed down the bus after seeing his Ran Murthy and while it was moving, he opened the door and jumped. He fell on the road and sprained his leg. Several parts of the hands and feet were injured. After making a police report, the police arrested the bus driver and the boy. What are you thinking? It is an incident that happened in Bangladesh a few days ago? May be. However, you will find examples of such incidents in Bangladesh and India or in the subcontinent and even in the western world.
That woman was saved by her own courage from a terrible fate on that journey. But a bigger trouble started after a few days. He started having nightmares in his sleep at night. In most nightmares he finds himself alone in a bus. The bus driver and some people tortured him terribly. One time he stopped sleeping for fear of facing this nightmare. He could not even do the job. Because the young woman lived in fear all the time. Couldn't concentrate on work. Finally, he had to take the help of a psychiatrist to overcome this mental crisis. Think about it, but the young woman was not a victim of the accident. Rather, he was saved by using present intelligence.
Still he had to go through a trauma for a long time. He felt that the world was a very unsafe place for him. Everyone is trying to harm him. For a long time he could not go on public transport. Even thinking about getting on the bus, he felt very scared. He used to get shocked whenever he saw any scene of sexual harassment in drama or movie. Moreover, he was not interested in reminiscing that night with his relatives or friends. Rather wanted to avoid. All in all, he was very upset. The psychiatrist told the young woman that she was suffering from what is called post-traumatic stress disorder in psychology.
This disorder is seen in those people who have witnessed some untoward accident in their life. It could be a murder, a bus accident, the death of someone, or a scene of torture or persecution. These events have a deep impact on some people and can disrupt their daily lives. The patient may perceive this condition along with other mental disorders like depression or panic attacks. At worst, this disorder can lead to suicidal tendencies. Just not being able to take this stress or pressure can leave people in a state of self-destruction. At the time of trauma the person feels a kind of helplessness. Post-traumatic disorder is basically an anxiety disorder. Where the victim cannot forget what happened to him. But with time, it became more dark and stuck in his mind. This problem is evident in Bangladesh. Because it's not just girls. Boys also go through various harassment in childhood. Most of which happens through family relatives.
Various oppressions by teachers also come in the newspaper. The bad thing is that even watching a scene from a movie can cause such trauma in young children. For this the movie has a rating that is age appropriate. But in our country, cineplexes do not accept his sigita. Parents without understanding anything take the child to see the movie. The results can be dire. This psychological problem first became well publicized after the Vietnam War. At the end of the bloody war, when the US soldiers returned home, a large part of them began to suffer from various mental problems. These people tortured the Vietnamese people. The Liberation Army of Vietnam also responded to them at one time. These soldiers have seen the horrors of blood, death and destruction very closely. They have lost many colleagues and friends in the war. And from there these problems arise. These soldiers would quietly go back to the days of war. They felt like sitting in the quiet atmosphere of New York. They are hiding in a canal or jungle in Vietnam. This means that they will be ambushed or that they will lose a comrade in the explosion of a mine. In the 1980s, a survey called the National Vietnam Veteral Readjustment showed that about twenty-five percent of US soldiers were suffering from post-mortem press disorder. This survey was also conducted among women in Vietnam who were victims of the war. Among those grandmothers, the proportion affected by this problem was twice that of men. That is, fifty percent of women were victims of postmenopausal disorder.
This mental problem was then also called as salesop or battle phatic. The name post-traumatic disorder was later given. This mental problem is also seen very strongly among the US soldiers engaged in the Iraq war or Afghanistan. Suicide rates in America increased dramatically after these wars. According to the psychologists of Britain's National Health Services, the person suffering from this trauma shows various symptoms for at least one to one and a half months. That incident hits his psyche again and again, he goes through the same experience again and again. When the flashback memories come back, he sweats profusely, chest tightness, nausea. His world came to a standstill due to intense fear, causing a panic attack.
Insomnia is a common symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder. Another characteristic symptom of postmenopausal disorder is that the affected person does not want to discuss with anyone the particular event that happened to him. He is afraid. If you try to remember them, the memories will come back to your mind. He tries to force himself to believe that nothing actually happened to him. He avoids the place where the accident happened in front of the people. It is the opposite of hitting. Moreover, after experiencing that trauma, a kind of feeling of emptiness engulfs the victims. They become much more casual. They live in fear. They try to take extra precautions in everything. Besides, in some cases they blame themselves for the accident. I think this incident happened because of their forgetfulness. And if he is not the victim but a witness in that incident, he cannot forgive himself for thinking that he could have helped the victim but did not. This guilt consumes him. Moreover, after being affected by it, the efficiency of the victim decreases at a severe rate. All enthusiasm for work is lost. Eating becomes irregular. Psychologists say bowling or teasing can also trigger this post-traumatic stress disorder. Let's assume. Physically healthy means that a boy or girl is constantly called fat, fat by his peers. Maybe they call him that name just for fun. But in the mind of the victim, it is accepted as a kind of mental torture. It became a trauma for him to be subjected to this torture day after day.
How can post traumatic disorder be relieved?
The life history of one out of every three people in the world can be seen. He has gone through some kind of major trauma or witnessed an accident. Not all of them suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. A large part of those who suffer survive on their own. But many people can't do that. For this it is necessary to resort to a good psychiatrist. It is very easy to get rid of post traumatic stress disorder through professional counseling. Psychologists suggest cognitive therapy and exposure therapy to overcome this problem. Cognitive therapy basically changes the negative thinking patterns from the victim's mind.
Exposure therapy works to help the victim get rid of nightmares and hallucinations. Going beyond this, some psychologists also suggest Eye Movement Sensitization and Reprocessing therapy after reviewing the mental state of the victim. These therapies can be taken alone or in groups. Besides, anti-depressant medicine and post-traumatic disorder treatment works well. Those medicines help the victim to sleep well. Psychiatrists do not only talk to victims. They also conduct multiple sessions with the victim's family members. Because according to psychologists of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, the role of psychiatrists in bringing a postmenopausal disorder victim back to normal life is almost as important as that of family members. The victim should not consider himself a mental patient in the behavior of family members. Care should be taken in this matter as well. People should be able to recover their confidence and return to normal life. The biggest responsibility of creating that environment is the family and society today.
