An estimated 7.8% of all Americans will experience Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) at some point in their lives. Roughly 5.2 million people have PTSD during the course of a given year. PTSD can affect anyone - from war veterans and abuse victims to persons directly or indirectly traumatised by other catastrophes including crime, natural disasters and serious accidents. Getting treatment as soon as possible after PTSD symptoms develop may help prevent PTSD from developing into a long-term condition. Treatment may take the form of medication, pychotherpay or alternative medicine. What Nurses Know...PTSD Covers all the treatments available today Examines the causes of the PTSD, describes the symptoms and the effects of PTSD on individuals with the condition and their families Looks at associated problems such as substance abuse Explains what makes PTSD different in children and adolescents Shows how to manage stress Shows how to talk to your health care provider Shows how to get help - from both traditional and nontraditional sources About the series: Nurses hold a critical role in modern health care that goes beyond their day-to-day duties. They share more information with patients than any other provider group and are alongside patients twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, offering understanding of complex health issues, holistic approaches to ailments and advice for the patient that extends to the family. Nurses themselves are a powerful tool in the healing process.
