As someone who lives and is treated for PTSD, this is very accurate. Great video! Childhood neglect, abuse and then a emotionally abusive relationship with a partner ending cracked me and brought to the surface a lot of repressed childhood memories and the fact I was coping by binge drinking (I did not realize it was not normal due to an alcoholic parent growing up)
I have been doing EMDR which helps immensely, eating properly, exercise, having limits for how much and when I drink, taking a light anti-anxiety medication. I feel right as rain and have a flourishing successful career, people who love me and am in control! :) No one can tell I have had any trauma unless I choose to tell them. DON'T give up hope of having your life back

Can neglect and people not wanting to listen to your thoughts and emotions cause PTSD? Because this has happened to me for so long by my family and teachers, sometimes classmates. I know my family doesn't mean what they do but it has prevented me from expressing my thoughts as well as my emotions. It has even prevented me from trusting people and talking about my problems in fear they'll shut me up, backstab me or never understand. It took lots of strength not to give up on life or engage in substance abuse, though I have tried to take my life a couple of times in the past. Its a very agonising feeling.

I sometimes wonder why God even keeps me alive. I've endured childhood abuse, neglect and abandonment. Then I grew up to endure rapezd, backstabbing and cheating. So that I could enter a marriage that I thought was my happily ever after and he left me for someone else after 25 years. God either has a warped sense of humor or I just have really bad luck. Help me out here people

This video opened my mind to understand people who are addicted and dependent. My best friend is an addict and sometimes I have a lot of difficulties to understand certain behavioral attitudes that she puts into practice. I will try to understand her in the most scientific way possible without judgment and give her support and love.

I think -Shell Shock- is a reaction to the kind of traumas that WWI soldiers experienced; They were forced to sit in bunkers & trenches for hours or days on end while experiencing constant bombardments, waited for certaon attack by the enemy, or waited for the word to run into a wall of bullets while attacking the enemy.
Fun, huh?

I screwed up my whole school farewell for my seniors and to this day it haunts me.
It has caused me to stop listening to songs: ( cause it reminds me of the past and some times flashbacks just come back to me.
Even though nobody cares i beat myself about it.

3: 52 I know that face. This particular Bernice is depicted attending a college party, but now is a shellshocked veteran seeking treatment for substance abuse? This is some deep Bernice lore. I look forward to seeing how the Bernice extended universe develops.

Institutional racism and racial and historical trauma has huge impact too, which is why it's important for us all to work on questioning each of our biases and using our ability to talk to people to prove ourselves wrong to separate our bigotry from ourselves.

Lol in the demographic, its only the black people who were likely to have PTSD than the rest of the population, I don't know if this is racist, but it's true that African people suffer more trauma than the rest of the population.
