Overview

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychological condition that can develop following exposure to a traumatic event, marked by intrusive thoughts and flashbacks, avoidance of trauma-related reminders, negative shifts in mood and cognition, and persistent hyperarousal. It is one of the central conditions studied in the field of Medical and Psychological Trauma, where physical injury and psychological harm frequently intersect. PTSD can substantially impair daily functioning, relationships, and quality of life, and it often co-occurs with depression, anxiety, and alcohol or substance use. Its development and severity are influenced by the nature of the trauma, individual vulnerability, and physiological stress responses, and management typically combines trauma-focused psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral approaches, with pharmacological and supportive interventions. Research in this journal and across related OpenAccessPub titles addresses the interplay of bodily and psychological trauma, including maxillofacial trauma and psychological stress, mental stress among adolescents seeking asylum, the relationship between trauma-related psychotic reactions and PTSD symptoms with alcohol use as a mediator, programs supporting partners living alongside veterans with PTSD, and tactile and somatosensory stimulation techniques studied for their effect on stress-related cortisol and anxiety.
