Psychological Trauma
Many individuals may develop signs and symptoms of psychological trauma after they have been subjected to years of abuse or after they have suffered through a traumatizing experience. In many cases, the effects of psychological harm severely interfere with an individual’s everyday life.
Unfortunately, there is no cure for psychological trauma, though there are treatment options to make it more manageable. If you or someone you love suffered psychological harm because of another person’s negligence or abuse, contact the Philadelphia personal injury lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 215-238-1130.
Signs and Symptoms
Psychological trauma may manifest itself in a number of ways. Regardless of the event that triggers the harm, the effects of the ailment usually have similar symptoms. Usually, these include:
- Flashbacks to trauma
- Trouble sleeping or frequent nightmares
- Trouble paying attention or staying focused
- Difficulty talking to others
Because of the extent of these disorders, psychological trauma may limit an individual’s abilities to interact with others. As such, these individuals may rely on loved ones for financial support if their symptoms interfere with their ability to work.
Individuals suffering from psychological trauma may have treatment options in the form of medications and psychiatric therapy. Unfortunately, neither option will permanently cure the disorder.
