      Introduction

      The clinical manifestations of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), particularly those related to the emotional devastation caused by wars and natural disasters, have been described since in memorial times. The famous Egyptian papyrus, Kunyus, approximately 1900 years BC, is considered as the first document that reports the response of human groups to traumatic events. In this case, it was fierce floods caused by the overflowing of the Nile. Homer's tragedies, Shakespeare's plays, Dicken’ novels and historical accounts such as Samuel Pepys' diary about the great fire of London in 1666, coincide in detailing dramatic emotional and behavioral disturbances in victims of various traumas.

      In 1860, Erichsen described a series of psychological problems in workers of the nascent British railways, victims of serious occupational accidents.

      The first author who coined the term traumatic neurosis was Oppenheim towards the end of the 19th century. The hysteria described by Charcot and Janet at the same time and the neuroses studied by Freud in the first decades of the twentieth century have in common their traumatic origin.

      In military history, the irritable heart syndrome or the Da Costa syndrome of the American civil war, and the combat fatigue or trench fever of the First World War are the first fully documented mass episodes of PTSD.

      Finally, the traumatic neurosis described by Kardiner suffered by soldiers exposed to combat in World War II, and the Vietnam syndrome confirmed the impression that not only does each war generate its diagnostic labels, but such experiences give rise to a set of surprisingly similar symptoms.

      The inclusion of PTSD in the accepted psychological classifications has not been free of controversies. In fact, the bombing shock also described during the first great war was only considered a disease to justify the high number of desertions of conscripts on the battlefields.

      In the literature of the last 30 years, a study should be cited in Swedish soldiers serving a peace mission in the Congo under the flag of the United Nations that found no difference in the prevalence of psychological problems and/or mental illness declared between soldiers exposed and not exposed to combat experience.

      Even now, there are those who say that PTSD was accepted as an autonomous diagnostic in 1980 only to meet the enormous and noisy demand for medical attention by Vietnam war veterans and as a measure of pressure on insurance companies reluctant to pay for the treatment of a condition until then unidentified.

      The situation is further complicated when it is found that, for example, in the DSM-IV, there are at least eleven other diagnostic categories whose origin lays in traumatic experiences lived by patients.

      War is thus the most severe traumatic event, the act of greatest violence on a large scale generated by the human race. This means that within the so-called military psychiatry, particularly in the United States, the study of PTSD has advanced thanks to research work on veterans of the two world wars, the Korean War (1950-1953) and, most notably, the Vietnam conflict (1965-1975). Most of the information in PTSD finds its origin in the study of victims of war.

      If we consider that in the past 30 years the rate of civilian armed conflicts have risen over 30%; that civilian death rate in armed conflict rose from 5% in 1950 to 84% in 2010; that 98% of the wars since 1945 have taken place in countries of the so-called developing world; that  the number of refugees and internally displaced persons has risen to 65 million; and that the rate of sexual violence has risen by 12% in the last decade. PTSD is both one and the sum of all the consequences of the collective catastrophe.

      It is essential to have a conversation about PTSD, about trauma, and how it affects humans. The consequences of untreated PTSD can lead to a higher suicide rate, higher unemployment, and homeless rate. Untreated PTSD also increases the number of people who consume drugs and abuse substances, lead to broken families, more crime, among other things.

      As it has been exposed, PTSD is a psychological condition as old as humanity. It isn’t the result of modern psychology or a term coined to explain a myriad of behaviors. However, trauma is experienced in a unique way by every individual and, as such, PTSD can affect people in different ways, have different symptoms, and require different treatments.

      If you are reading this book looking for a one size fits all approach to overcoming your PTSD then you are in the wrong place. In order to overcome the symptoms that anxiety, panic, and shock can cause on the human mind and body it is necessary first to understand what trauma and PTSD are and have an intellectual understanding of it.
