June is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month. It is intended to raise public awareness about issues related to PTSD, reduce the stigma associated with PTSD and help ensure that those suffering from unseen wounds receive proper treatment.
The American Psychiatric Association describes PTSD as a “psychiatric disorder that can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, rape or other violent personal assault.”
At INTEGRIS Health, we recognize the toll the COVID-19 pandemic has taken on caregivers, especially those on the front lines. National surveys report that health care workers are experiencing:
* Emotional exhaustion
* Trouble sleeping
* Physical exhaustion
* Work-related dread
* Physical symptoms
* Compassion fatigue
* Anxiety (generalized)
Kerri Bayer, the Chief Nurse Executive at INTEGRIS Health, says these are natural responses to all they have witnessed in the past year. “Because of COVID-19 our caregivers have seen more death, more isolation and more fear than what is typical. They have worried about and mourned patients, family members and friends. It’s been difficult and demanding but they were so busy they were able to suppress and push through.”
She adds, “Now that things are starting to relax, many caregivers are finally able to release what they have kept bottled up inside. This can be therapeutic but also unsettling.”
You don’t have to be in health care to be feeling this way. Symptoms should not be ignored and cannot be expected it to go away on their own. Addressing trauma from COVID-19 is a crucial step to returning to our pre-pandemic lives.
Xanax is an anxiolytic. What is it? It is a tranquilizer, a psychotropic drug, the effect of which is manifested in the elimination of neurotic manifestations: fear, anxiety and emotional tension.Read more at https://miso.moe/xanax-1mg-for-sale/
