How to Help Someone with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)?
It is painful to see your loved one suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. They may act and behave differently from the person you knew before—irritable, angry, depressed, and withdrawn. He or she may be emotionally and mentally strained by PTSD. For some people, symptoms may even be severe, and seeking professional help may be necessary.
As a person concerned with your loved one’s situation, you may feel guilty that you cannot help fix their problems or maybe you want to hasten the process of healing.
Unfortunately, you cannot easily change someone. However, you can do the following things to help PTSD patients:
- Learn everything you can about PTSD. By reading books, articles, blogs, and even watching videos about PTSD will help you have an understanding of what they are going through.
- Understand that their withdrawal and avoidance are all part of the disorder. Have you ever tried approaching a loved one and they instantaneously rejected your help? Then let them be alone and have their own space. Just reassure them that you are always available to assist and help them.
- Anticipate and know how to manage triggers. PTSD patients can be easily triggered by a person, thing, place, or situation that reminds them of their trauma. Common PTSD symptoms such as flashbacks can set off if they are triggered by something or someone. To help your loved one, ask them how they cope with triggers in the past. Together, you may come up with an effective plan on how he or she should respond in the future.
- Listen to them. One of the most precious things you can give them is your attention. Being present with them during difficult times means a lot. You do not have to give unsolicited advice. Just listen. Be patient with them and try not to force them to talk about their trauma.
- Offer them professional help. If they are willing, invite them to go to a medical appointment with you to assist them with treatment. In serious cases, it might be helpful to look for treatment centers for post-traumatic stress disorder.
