What Are the Symptoms of Trauma?

Acute Trauma Cleveland is a broad term that can encompass any injury, death, or sudden and severe psychological change that occurs suddenly and without warning. Many people confuse acute trauma with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which is often times mistaken for Acute Trauma. They are not the same thing. An injury may cause certain behaviors or reactions in a victim but those reactions may not be from the injury itself. They can be symptoms of PTSD, which often goes hand in hand with the acute trauma they cause.

There are various types of Acute Trauma but there are four common categories. They are: Physical, chemical, biological, and behavioral. Each type has its own unique symptoms that mimic the symptoms of other disorders but in general have some common things in common. The physical trauma symptoms are normally classified as either blunt or penetrating. The symptoms can also be classified as static or hyperkinetic.

A blunt trauma may feel like a heavy blow to the head or back, that only hurts for a moment. A penetrating injury may feel like being stabbed or hit. Chemical traumas can include chemical spills, poison, or bomb threats. Biological trauma may feel much like having the flu or a common cold. Finally, behavioral traumas can include extreme situations such as abuse, neglect, and even violent threats. Having a broad knowledge of the different types of traumas and their symptoms will help you better understand what is going on when you or someone you love becomes the victim of one.

When an Acute Trauma takes place the victim usually experiences severe and long-term symptoms after the event. Symptoms experienced will vary depending on the severity of the incident. However, most victims will experience feelings of hopelessness, anger, fear, panic attacks, and intense grief over the loss of the victim and life in general. Some of these feelings may feel so strong that they trigger a reaction that is physical - such as shaking, sweating, heart palpitations, etc. Others will only experience mild physical symptoms that may be less obvious than the true feelings.

The trauma experienced can have a wide range of consequences ranging from the more obvious and damaging to less obvious ones. For example, an Acute Trauma that involves death can have a number of effects that are both physical and psychological. As death is traditionally a very stressful event, victims may experience intense fear and grief, negative thoughts, and physical symptoms such as stomach pain, headaches, diarrhea, etc. These emotions can lead to more drastic reactions such as increased stress levels, feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and anger.

Not only can trauma result in more intense physical symptoms, it can also lead to more severe mental health problems. As the victim begins to go through the trauma process, they may experience paranoia, nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety, mood swings, and even depression. It is important to note that the symptoms of trauma do not usually go away on their own; sometimes the trauma leads to further mental health issues that need treatment. If someone experiences prolonged trauma, this could lead to the possibility of more serious issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder.

PTSD is not the same as Anxiety Disorders. Anxiety disorders are considered to be a normal, healthy anxiety response that serves a very important purpose: alerting us to potentially dangerous situations. The symptoms of PTSD include intrusive thoughts, feelings of fear, difficulty concentrating or focusing, flashbacks, nightmares, and the inability to sleep. Although some people who suffer from PTSD do experience nightmares, it is not uncommon for the dreams to cause physical symptoms such as extreme fatigue and headaches. Even though the symptoms of both conditions are the same, it is important to note that a person with PTSD might not go to the doctor right away, which can lead to another problem.

As you can see, trauma can have many different symptoms that are classified depending on their severity. In order to prevent the onset of an emotional or psychological disorder, it is recommended that you seek a doctor's consultation if you believe you are experiencing any of the symptoms of trauma. If your symptoms are present, they are very likely being caused by the recent events surrounding your life. Some of the more common traumas that people experience include natural disasters, war, sexual assault, domestic violence, and major accidents. Other examples include war veterans, survivors of a flood, Hurricane Katrina victims, and those who have been in jail for a long period of time. Regardless of how much trauma you have experienced, the chances of developing PTSD is very high.
