I really wanted to know common stuff, as far as how many people that was affected, what are the risk factors and how can people cope with PTSD? (Just to name a few.) I learned the difference between credible and non-credible sources.
I understood how to distinguish the two and for future references, I can trust credible sources versus non-credible sources. That part was the most difficult part for me but I’m glad I learned, especially being on my way to college. For my fourth and fifth blog, I had five options to choose from. I chose to do the history of PTSD, the significance and background of the disorder.
I also chose to do my choice and that was to pick a significant and interesting thing about the disorder. As far as the history of PTSD, I learned that the disorder wasn’t always titled PTSD; it was until 1980 where the official name was given. They had various names before then, such as “shell shock,” "battle fatigue,” and “gross stress reaction” and other given names. These names were referred to people in World War I, the American Civil War, Vietnam, and World War II.
When choosing a significant and interesting thing about post traumatic stress disorder, I touched basis on the tragic event called 9/11, which occurred on September 11, 2001. That tragedy cause people in New York City and some across the nation to develop a disturbing psychological symptoms (post traumatic stress disorder) and impaired functioning. I really enjoyed the blogging opportunity and the six-step process. It gave the seniors the opportunity to show what we know, as far as our concerns in the world or what we want to do when we become successful adults.
