PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that develops in response to a traumatic event.
It is characterised by four main symptom clusters: intrusive memories or flashbacks of the traumatic event, avoidance of reminders of the trauma, negative changes in thoughts and mood, and increased arousal and reactivity.
Individuals with PTSD may experience intense emotional distress, heightened anxiety, and difficulty concentrating.
The symptoms can significantly impair daily functioning and quality of life, requiring appropriate treatment and support.
OCD
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterised by two main components: obsessions and compulsions.
Obsessions are persistent, intrusive thoughts, images, or urges that cause distress and anxiety.
Compulsions are repetitive behaviours or mental acts that individuals feel driven to perform in response to their obsessions. These compulsions are often aimed at reducing anxiety or preventing a feared outcome.
OCD can significantly impact daily life, causing distress and interfering with relationships, work, and overall well-being.
STRESS
Stress is a natural response to demanding situations, both external and internal. It involves a complex interplay of physiological and psychological factors.
When faced with stress, the body releases hormones that trigger the “fight-or-flight” response, preparing us to cope with the perceived threat.
While acute stress can be adaptive, chronic or excessive stress can have detrimental effects on our physical and mental well-being, leading to various health issues.
Effective stress management techniques, such as relaxation exercises, regular exercise, and seeking support, can help mitigate the negative impact of stress on our overall health.
