POSTTRAMAUTIC STRESS DISORDER 2
People who have posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) reports a higher level of
dissatisfaction across dynamic life domains such as occupational functioning, social, and
physical health functioning. Previous research evidence asserts that quality of the life of those
suffering from PTSD improves with tandem with the signs enhancement during both
pharmacological and psychological treatment. Nonetheless, a lot of the study is mostly funded on
the quality of life including the mental as well as physical health quality of life evaluated by
measures including short form health survey. Personal wellbeing is popularly referred to as the
subjective dimension of the quality of life.
Besides, physical as well as mental health domain, the view of personal welling relates to
the range of dimension such as perception of an individual standard of living, quality of personal
relationship as well as life achievements. Other determinants includes perceived safety, future
security as well as community engagement.
Additionally, the concept of the personal wellbeing assumes the possibilities that a person
may thrive instead of just lacking disability. More so, there remains absence of the study that has
applied measures touching on a broad range of domains for personal wellbeing in treatment
of the individuals abstaining treatment from PTSD including relationship satisfaction and
perceived safety among other factors (Berle et al. 2018).
Most of the studies that has been investigating changes taking place after PTSD treatment
on life satisfaction as well as personal wellbeing have primarily focused on a particular including
spiritual wellbeing. Understanding the process of PSTD treatment is for instance there is also an
increasing evidence that holds symptomatic improvement increases following the treatment
however it is not clear if this applies to the personal wellness as well (Berle et al. 2018). The

purpose of this investigation was to find out if a 4 week residential group treatment of PTSD is
related to the improvement of personal wellbeing together with the symptoms of PTSD.
The study also holds that the level of wellbeing in people with PTSD is always low and
the treatment should not focus on PTSD symptomatic treatment alone. The focus should be on
their general life and wellbeing. The journal also holds that the future study or research should
focus on most effective means of improving personal wellbeing which might be enhancing
symptoms or emphasizing on the approaches which has a separate focus.
The 21st century started in array of peace and hope. The worldwide prosperity was
believed to start with the new millennium and more so few years ago most people in the world
spoke primarily off peace. However, today majority of world population are in fear and anxiety
about the self as well as the neighbor. Socio political event has displayed a shadow of uneasiness
bout the security affecting people at both societal and personal level. For instance Greg, a
business man in California took a flight and he barely survived in the eventful incident of 9/11.
Later Greg tried to contact his anxious family who were in hock and denial. The event affected
Greg and up today he does not travel frequently. Traumatic incidents are awfully stressful. The
kind of stress that are related to the traumatic incidents precipitates a spectrum of both physio-
pathological as well as psycho emotional outcome. At its highest point the response is diagnosed
as psychiatric disorder.
PTSD is the psychiatric condition or disorder which result from experience or witnessing
of the life threatening event including terrorist attacks, military combat, natural disaster, violent
crime as well as abuse and serious accident among many other events. Individual; suffering from
PTSD in most cases relieve the experience by the help of flashback and nightmares among other
forms (Iribarren et al. 2005). Most of PTSD patients report difficulty in sleeping at with time the

grow detached and this accelerated by the associated conditions such as substance use, problem
of memory and cognition and depression. With time the disorder result to the impairment of the
ability to relate or w function in the social life leading to occupational instability, difficulty in
parenting, marital problems as well as divorce and family discord. The condition can become
severe leading to the victim committing suicide.
Posttraumatic disorder happens to be a primary mental condition or illness and it is
increasingly becoming a public health problem (Ghaffarzadegan, Ebrahimvandi, & Jalali, 2016).
According to the article besides disorders related to the PTSD among the military and veteran
personnel and the recent improvement in diagnosis and treatment little is known in regard to the
policies initiated for prevention of this disorder.
The knowledge related to the PTSD has improved over the last forty years but
implementation of policies to reduce or minimize this cases is limited. In most cases coming up
with the policies faces a lot of barrier because the challenge of PTSD is taken as a single
organizational challenge, however this is a fallacy because it’s a multi organizational challenge.
For instance, the patient’s family, community, colleague, neighborhoods and employers are
always involved in this tragedy. The problem is always complex due to the long delays between
the cause and the effects.
Conclusively, military personnel are always seen to be strong people and therefore, they
are always served the last. However, the sector of military is challenging this people including
the veteran seem to have had awful experiences. Most of them are always reluctant to share
leading to PTSD after a traumatic event including military combat.
