How to deal with post traumatic stress disorder in kids?

---

I have post traumatic stress disorder from child abuse. How do kids deal with this and other information. I also know someone with this that is 8 years old too.
Hi, sorry to hear you have been abused, so have I. I am older now and in time life does get better. You need to get away from the abuse first, you can report it to a school counselor. You can also go to a school counselor or doctor to help you get through it. Has anyone taken yout to a counselor. They can give you ideas for your age to help you deal with the abuse issues. Like reading a funny book or participating in a dance class, writing a journal of how you feel, to let out some of the fear, there are games they play in counseling to help you build your self-esteem and trust. Mostly you need someone professional to guide you and your friend. If this is not possible you can call childrens and families to report the abuse or emergency 911. If you are still being abused you need for it to stop so you can get better...if the abuse has stopped you need an adult counselor who can walk you through the activities and support to help you understand the abuse was not your fault and make a plan to have ready if your ever in danger again. Like someone to call and come get you, emergency 911, pack a bag of stuff so if you have to leave in a hurry your prepared, this being done will help you too. Get some help from the people around you who can help and stay strong, you will get well with time.----my prayers are with you-melissa  (+ info)

Can people be very shy and quiet because they have Post-traumatic stress disorder?

---

I am extremely guarded, shy, and quiet. I don't talk that much in classes where I don't know people, I but talk with my close friends. I suffered some psychological trauma in my life and I have post-traumatic stress disorder. I get really nervous in class when I think I might get called on to answer a question. Right now I have an air cast and I'm using crutches and I just hate how people always look at me.

Does anyone know the name of this condition from post traumatic stress disorder?

---

A girl at my school said she was raped when she was 7 and she has post traumatic stress disorder from it. She says that when people speak she sees the words above them and so she tries to just look them in the eye. She said that the words are different colors too. I have never heard of such a thing. It sounds surreal or like bull to me. But I don't know. Has anyone heard of this?
Seeing things that aren't there is hallucinating and it is very serious. She may have schizophrenia or psychosis. She needs to see a psychiatrist to get a proper diagnosis.  (+ info)

Can the cause of a giant cell tumor be post traumatic?

---

I recently had surgery on my right thumb for ligament repair from a slip and fall, there after I developed what doctors call- a giant cell tumor on that same right thumb finger. Could the growth of the tumor be post-traumatic?
thanks for answering my question. Is there any way I can prove that it is post traumatic?
You have to wonder. Any trauma is followed by healing, which involves rapid cell division and involves the chance of mutations arising from the cell division, which could lead to cell disregulation and a tumor. Good luck on getting through this!  (+ info)

How does post traumatic stress disorder differ from acute stress discorded?

---

How does post traumatic stress disorder differ from acute stress discorded
Hi Krystlin. The only difference between Acute Stress Disorder and PTSD is the length of time that symptoms have been experienced. If the symptoms have been present for less than 30 days, then criteria is not met for PTSD and the diagnosis is Acute Stress. After 30 days, PTSD is the correct diagnosis. The actual diagnostic criteria are essentially the same. All the best.  (+ info)
