Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

It's human nature to get frightened after an injury. Likewise, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a type of mental illness that affects some people due to their traumatic injury. It can occur at any age, from childhood to old age.It's a psychiatric issue which is common yet unrecognized in many patients.

The reason or cause for PTSD are several. Events such as threatened death or violent death, intense fear, torture, helplessness, witnessing or being a victim of natural calamities, lack of support from family/friends after a surgery are a few causes for PTSD to occur. Many patients who suffer from orthopedic trauma develop symptoms of PTSD too. It occurs even after the wound is healed/healing. It is also commonly seen in Veterans and soldiers  after a war.
The symptoms for PTSD may include intrusion symptoms such as disturbed sleep, dreams related to the traumatic experience.Without proper treatment, lack of support from the people whom you love makes one to feel lonely and pathetic,gives more chances for these symptoms to develop.

 The reason I'm writing about PTSD is to bring an awareness about this illness. If this is recognized at an early stage then the patient can be given appropriate counselling and medication. People can be inhumane and torture the patient more by not providing any support. Provide 100% support to the patient to cure him/her to stand up on their feet again.

A family where women were considered men if they had given birth to a male child. She received the portent and tried to impress them but, the only way to impress them was to starve and become lame. "I was not born for this" she thought. She was isolated for the rest of her life for she was a woman. Jahnavi.K.J written for Lillie McFerrin's five sentence fiction .

Zodiac signs

Zodiac signs' dictionary meaning is: "an imaginary area of the sky containing the positions of the sun, the moon and the main planets, divided into 12 equal parts, named after 12 groups of stars. It is interesting to see how these stars effect the life of each individual living on Earth. This study of stars is an ancient science which rises curiosity in everyone. The study depends on the date of birth of the individual in the western countries and on the birth star in the Hindu astrology. The zodiac signs plays a vital role in match making and other aspects in Indian arranged marriage. Some people have strong beliefs in the forecast of these zodiac signs. However I do not believe in the predictions of the zodiac signs :) Jahnavi Participating in A to Z challenge
