Trauma is defined as a deeply distressing or disturbing experience. However, trauma is relative by nature. For example, while catastrophic events such as being on the Frontline or working as a healthcare worker during COVID-19, natural disaster, combat, or a terrorist incident are traumatic, so is getting a divorce or losing a loved one. Even within this huge spectrum of traumatic experiences, everyone responds uniquely.
If you have lived through or witnessed something that was horrifying, put your life at risk, or made you feel negatively about yourself, you should acknowledge your feelings and ask for help without shame.
How does trauma affect my mental health?
When you experience a traumatic event, you may have an immediate or delayed response with mental, emotional, and physical symptoms. Your symptoms may subside as time passes or you may have lasting psychological issues stemming from your trauma.
Post-traumatic stress disorder is one type of mental health condition that directly follows trauma. However, you may also develop other forms of anxiety, depression, eating disorders, or other mental health conditions.
How are trauma-related mental health conditions treated?
If you’ve been a healthcare worker, who has been on the Frontlines during COVID-19, then you have experienced trauma, and it’s more then likely affecting your mental health. There is no shame in asking for help, you deserve to be supported too. Call and make an appointment today, no wait times for health care workers: 734-223-6014.
