Research What Are The Usual Ptsd Characteristics That Patients Shows After Witness A Terrorist Attack Or War?

[Víctor Gómez Gil]

I am future Master' student who wants to investigate about PTSD in war times or the one caused after the constant terrorist attacks in certain locations as Lebanon, Israel, Palestine and Mexico. If anyone has information about it or wants to grant me an interview, please contact me.

I'd sure like to know why you've thrown epilipsy in there.. what level of study are you at and what type of study are you doing?

I threw epilepsy because of some cases in Israel that I'm studying. Where after several terrorist attacks from Hamas to a small Israelian village in the south, many people suffered a nervous crisis followed by epilepsy.
However, I don't really know much about epilepsy being a usual characteristic of the PTSD, and for that reason I am asking to people who know about it.

My level of study is graduated, and I am starting with the research of my Master Project, which I want to focus on the Mexican situation, where the PTSD cases are increasing after the several attacks of the narcotrafic against the population.

I bet the PTSD issue is bad along the border.

Not necessarily. It is well proven and documented, that if people know no better, they live a specific way their entire life, then their brain doesn't develop PTSD because it depicts their surroundings and life as normal, not as traumatic. What is traumatic to one culture, region, society type, is not to another.

Good point.

That is interesting Anthony !!! Like saying 'what we grow up with we think is real' ?? I only would wonder how this would apply to childhood traumatization and it's resulting behaviors. Does the child have the option of viewing this as being normal vs. traumatic? Interesting indeed.

Sorry, I don;'t know how to do the quotes yet.

I have split the secondary PTSD discussion to its own topic, as it is off-topic here: [DLMURL]http://www.ptsdforum.org/c/threads/secondary-ptsd.17040/[/DLMURL]

Wow you just helped me see the light with that information. I grew into my PTSD so to speak then I went to war and came back without the ability to cope anymore...Very interesting

I am also curious about your including epilespy as my husband with PTSD just suffered a seizure last Thursday.

Seizures can be normal with PTSD... basically, it can depend on the sheer level or anxiety the body is place under, and can create a seizure. Whether physical injury has resulted as well, also causes for seizures.
