Trauma appears in 1980, only thirty-six years ago. Trauma exists in the ancient time and memorial since we suffered. Trauma is always associated with veteran combat where the soldiers suffering from shell shock in World War I(WWI). The concept of shell shock was describing of changing behavioural, where at that time the most soldier had symptoms of head injuries or loss of consciousness. In February 1915, the term shell shock was used by Charles Myers in an article in The Lancet to describe three soldiers suffering from “loss of memory, vision, smell, and taste.”…
This Week Five Assignment will focus on the components of the neuroscience aspects topic of the Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I will include the causes of it which is the theories of etiology. I will also review how the factors develops it’s genetic, environmental, familial or lifestyle. I will analyze the pathology, including genetics and biochemical aspects. Then, having to diagnose the research technologies on PSTD.…
Throughout the book he continually uses rhetorical questions to illustrate what he was thinking at the time he made each observation, with periodic sentences that tended towards variety in length. The rhythm was broken by the long references to previous works, other authors, and speakers who have looked at similar cases, causing the reader to bounce back and forth between writing and references, the asterisks, extra points put to the side, etc. His use of direct conversation gives him credibility, not only does he know neurology like the back of his hand, he wants you to know…
The effects can include, social impairment, academic and behavioral problems, and so many others. With so many problems associated with the cognitive-behavioral outcomes from an abusive situation, the physical problems within the brain aren’t generally thought of. Teicher and other shined a light on that area of trauma. In the process of brain development, stress from abuse can physically alter the…
These experience can occur within any given time period and may involve a single traumatic event or many repeated events over the course of time. Trauma has an impact on the maturation of biological as well as psychological processes. Repeated traumatic exposure disrupts the maturing organism’s development of self-regulatory process that can lead to destructive behaviors towards self and others, learning disabilities, dissociative problems and distortion in self-concept and others. Examples of trauma within the childhood stage can include but are not limited to neglect or abandonment, death of parent, divorce, rape, medical illnesses, witnessing horrific events and unstable family life. Chapter 12 provided a table (Table 12.1)…
The author of “The Boy Who was Raised as a Dog”, Bruce Perry, writes about a collection of clinical cases focusing on children’s experience with trauma, mental health consequences, physiological changes, resilience, and types of treatment. Dr. Perry, a child psychiatrist and researcher of neuroscience, writes in an intensely personal and informative tone while providing readers with distinctive approaches to emphasize on how human physiology intertwines with long-term repercussions of behavioral alteration of traumatized children. He incorporated case studies of research that enabled him to factually and didactically connect how the functionality of bodily physiological factors (the brain, nervous system, circulatory system, and hormone system)…
After hearing the sound of fireworks, the barking of a dog, or even just the sight of a weapon, something in a persons mind with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) will trigger. Horror will constantly torment the mind, no matter what or where the person is. This is part of what people diagnosed with PTSD go through on a daily basis. Unfortunately, little is known about why the human body induces this mental disorder, or why it takes so long to recover from. However, based off recent research, much has been discovered about the fundamentals of the mental illness.…
Their findings relates to the neuroendocrine system, the hippocampus, sleep pattern, psychophysiology, and their electroencephalographic potentials of the patients suffering from PTSD. Many sources reference their work and each subtopic indicated clinical implications. The article concluded with innovated treatment approaches to PTSD which included anxiety management training, exposure therapy, sleep related therapy, commitment therapy, and interpersonal psychotherapy. The author’s goal was achieved after they discussed early intervention and prevention of re-victimization. This is my first time coming across this information and I think that it will be significant for a future…

This is new information for me. It is interesting to learn how our body functions and work with one another. The impact of trauma and how it affects each individual is very complex. Understanding the impact of trauma and its variation of the different patterns of how stress affect each person is very unique in their style. The neurons plays and important part in the brain and it has the ability to adjust to sensitivity and reaction.…
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is well known mental disorder which occurs when someone goes through a particularly disturbing or distressing event.

War is an armed conflict influenced by opposing states, parties, or nations. And as a result of these events, many people are involved directly in the war and many perish during the struggle to end the war. Though the loss of life is always a terrible result, it is not the only one as a consequence of war. There are those who survived these wars but came back, sometimes sent back, home with not physical injuries but with emotional and mental ones. These psychological injuries were called many things in the past but as time passed, it was called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD.…

Trauma can be described as experiences or situations that cause physical, emotional or mental pain, that one cannot control. For children and adolescents, the most common trauma is interpersonal trauma which affects their biological, cognitive, psychological and social developments.

Also, there…
