Symptoms of PTSD Among Veterans


A tablet with the words ptsd on it.

Veterans are the heroes of our nation. They have defended and protected the values and morals that our country has stood for. This is why we provide reliable Home Care in Pleasanton, California for our veterans and their families.

Purposeful Angels Home Care implements care based on what patients need. As our veterans gain age, we provide quality Senior Care covering their needs. It is in this line of service that we have seen our heroes struggle with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD. After experiencing a life-threatening event or severe trauma, the nervous system can get “stuck†with the shock. PTSD can surface after hours or days following the shock. Unfortunately, the symptoms may also surface after months or years.

There are four symptom clusters recognized as:

  • Recurring and unpleasant reminders (thoughts, nightmares, or flashbacks) of the traumatic event
  • Extreme avoidance of any reminder (places, people, thoughts, or situations) of the shock
  • Adverse changes in mood, thoughts, beliefs with persistent negative feelings (guilt, shame, or fear)
  • Heightened alertness, being on guard all the time and emotionally reactive (anger, reckless behavior, or irritability)

Personal Care in Pleasanton, California can bring you many benefits including taking care of someone dealing with PTSD.
