I am looking forward to another approach to PTSD because today life is really chaotic. To say it deranges one even temporarily is to deny the truth. I appreciate you creating this video. We can ALWAYS learn.

@kurakula you can identify as a survivor from ptsd, recognize it in your past, talk about it etc. but officially it requires a diagnosis with significant criteria being met. However the affects exist in a spectrum so you may or may not meet the criteria while still finding the ide tiny and tools to be a life saver

For our high school project we are doing research on the development of mental disorders on indirect victims of terrorism (for example because of exposure from media), now we are wondering if PTSD can be developed by indirect exposure, because the DSM is saying no, but several studies are saying yes. What is your point of view on this matter? We love your videos btw!
Thank you for watching my videos! The development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a complex process that can be influenced by a variety of factors, including the nature of the traumatic event, the individual's personal history, and their coping mechanisms. According to the current understanding, PTSD is typically associated with direct exposure to traumatic events. However, it is acknowledged that indirect exposure, such as learning that a close friend or relative was exposed to trauma, can potentially lead to PTSD. However, media exposure as a potential trigger for PTSD is not currently recognized, unless it is work-related. This is based on the understanding that the impact of direct exposure to trauma is typically more intense and immediate than indirect exposure. On the other hand, there is some evidence to suggest that intense or prolonged indirect exposure to traumatic events, such as through media coverage of terrorism, can lead to symptoms similar to PTSD. This is particularly the case when the exposure is intense, prolonged, or graphic, and when the individual has a personal connection to the event or the victims. It's important to note that the development of PTSD-like symptoms does not necessarily mean that the individual has PTSD. The diagnosis of PTSD requires a comprehensive assessment and should be made by a qualified mental health professional. In conclusion, while media exposure as a potential trigger for PTSD is not currently recognized, there is some evidence to suggest that intense or prolonged indirect exposure to traumatic events can lead to PTSD-like symptoms. Further research is needed to fully understand this relationship and to refine the diagnostic criteria for PTSD.
the sounds of clock ticking is killing me, if i go in a place with wall clocks that are ticking or even a hand watch, i will pull out the baterry, stop ticking and go to sleep, that is the only way. could it be that i am just a weirdo or...??
You're definitely not alone in feeling this way, and you’re not a “weirdo” at all. What you’re describing sounds like it could be a form of misophonia, which is a strong emotional reaction to specific sounds. For some people, certain repetitive noises like a ticking clock can trigger intense discomfort, anxiety, or even anger. These reactions are usually out of proportion to what most people experience, but they’re very real and valid for those who deal with it. The reason why a sound like clock ticking can be so distressing is likely related to how your brain processes that specific noise. Instead of filtering it out as background sound, your brain hyperfocuses on it, making it feel overwhelming and impossible to ignore. This heightened sensitivity to sound can make it hard to relax or sleep until you remove the trigger, which is exactly what you’re doing by taking out the batteries. It might be worth exploring some coping strategies, like using white noise machines, earplugs, or other sound-masking tools, especially in environments where you can’t control the noise. You could also consider speaking with a therapist who specializes in sensory processing issues if this is affecting your daily life. Remember, everyone has their unique sensitivities. What you’re experiencing is just another example of how diverse our sensory systems can be. Understanding it better can help you find ways to manage it more effectively without feeling like you have to avoid certain environments altogether. Also, I’d be grateful if you were to share what you found most useful from the video. Additionally, if you're interested in more tips on the topic or if you want to explore my video library, you can use my AI: allceus.com/AskDocSnipes.
