Overview

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, such as a threat to life, serious injury, or violence. Its characteristic symptoms include intrusive memories, flashbacks, and nightmares; avoidance of reminders of the trauma; negative shifts in mood and thinking; and heightened arousal, such as being easily startled or hypervigilant. These symptoms can persist and interfere significantly with daily functioning, relationships, and wellbeing, and they are addressed through psychological therapies and other evidence-based treatments. Within the journal's scope on Psychological Disorders, PTSD is studied in relation to its causes, comorbidities, and treatment. Published work includes cognitive-analytic therapy in women with breast cancer and PTSD, the relationship between trauma-related psychotic reactions and post-traumatic stress symptoms with alcohol use as a mediator, mental stress in adolescents seeking asylum, support programs for partners of veterans with PTSD, and stress-response interventions such as bilateral alternating somatosensory stimulation. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to post-traumatic stress disorder and its psychological understanding and treatment.
