How Stressful Memories Affect Anxiety
PTSD & Stressful memories can affect anxiety in many different ways and can often be the ‘root cause’ of many anxiety disorders.
The most obvious example is Post-Traumatic Stress. PTSD involves experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event or sexual attack, as well as, a severe reaction to a personal loss.
The Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM) used by psychologists lists 17 symptoms divided into 5 severity levels. Many of these same symptoms are also shared with the diagnoses of Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, and Panic Disorder.
These other anxiety disorders are usually considered, not caused by trauma because they don’t have the severity of symptoms, and the nature of the root-cause experience was not life-threatening. Although many who suffer with PTSD are often diagnosed with other types of anxiety disorders, as well.
Significant emotional events can often connect a memory to a feeling of fear, sadness, hurt, anger, shame and guilt. These feelings range in intensity from simply remembering how you once felt… to the most severe flashback of that significant emotional feeling.
Serial Stressful Events
When you have several stressful events that occur within a close time-frame, or experience a string of severe losses, it can often result in the development of anxiety that can affect one’s life.
An example of this is a woman whose Mother recently died. A month later, she had to put her beloved cat to sleep, and a few days later, she lost her job. She soon began experiencing severe nervousness and anxiety attacks.
The symptoms of this anxiety often appear as a lesser form of PTSD. In fact, these sufferers are sometimes diagnosed by mental health practitioners as actually having had a trauma.
